The German railway company Deutsche Bahn has extended its partnership with Hertha BSC (Bundesliga) and has become a partner of the Hertha BSC eSport Academy, according to the club on 04/02/2019. Deutsche Bahn, which has been involved with the club since 2006, is an exclusive partner of Hertha BSC (second level) during the 2018-19 season.

"Digitisation and progress are also major themes within the Deutsche Bahn Group, hence the logical extension of our eSports partnership. On 05/02/2019, fans will have the opportunity to closely observe the talents of the club's eSport Academy and even compete against them: from 11:00 to 15:00, in Berlin's (GER) main railway station, the club's eSport players will face fans on FIFA 19. Every hour, the best fan, with the highest number of goals scored, will win two tickets to the DFB-Pokal Round of 16 match between Hertha BSC and FC Bayern Munich (Bundesliga) on Wednesday 06/02/2019 (kick-off at 20:45 CET)," said the club.
