Borussia Dortmund: exclusive partnership with Shandong Luneng (Chinese Super League)

Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga) has established a five-year exclusive partnership with the Chinese club Shandong Luneng (CSL), announced Carsten Cramer, marketing director of the German club, to Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency on 23/08/2017.

This partnership, which has not yet been formally presented by the Ruhr club, is a "strategic cooperation covers youth development, club management, coach training and summer camps, and more," reported Xinhua.

"We are not a club which plays a friendly asking for some money, and then rushes out of the country. Without a partnership with a club, I am sure that we can't credibly reach the Chinese population," added Carsten Cramer.
