The BFV involves Lotto Bayern in its advertising and communication measures as well as on its media platforms.
“We are currently experiencing a situation that presents not only society, but also the association and its clubs with great challenges. It is a great sign that Lotto Bayern has deliberately and clearly committed itself to Bavarian amateur football at a time when there is great uncertainty and also existential fears. Cohesion in difficult times is what characterizes a loyal partner. This is anything but a matter of course. The fact that Lotto Bayern not only extended the contract, but also significantly increased the bonuses at the same time, is a great encouragement and recognition for the indispensable commitment of thousands of club employees at the football base, ”said BFV President Koch after signing the contract.
Social interaction is crucial
“Social interaction is crucial - and you learn that in football. Even in these difficult times, everyone sticks together, even if a joint game is currently not possible as usual due to the corona pandemic. It is now all the more important to think about the future and I am delighted that Lotto Bayern and the Bavarian Football Association are extending their cooperation agreement further, ”explains Bavaria's Minister of Finance and Homeland Minister Albert Füracker, whose department also includes Lotto Bayern. “The BFV and Lotto Bayern simply belong together. We promoted the reconstruction of sports facilities shortly after the end of the war. Since 1997 we have been cooperation partners in the Free State as two strong brands. Lotto Bayern is a reliable partner of the sport and will continue to be, especially amateur football is very important to us. The partnership with the BFV is therefore an indispensable part of our commitment, ”said Friederike Sturm, President of Lotto Bayern, on the occasion of the contract extension. ge
