Bundesliga: Siemens (technology) extends as Bayern Munich's performance partner (2020-2023)

Siemens, a German technology group, has extended its contract as a "performance partner" of FC Bayern Munich (Bundesliga) for three seasons (2020-2023), announced the German club on 01/07/2020. This extension focuses on the provision of technologies for sustainable development.

Siemens benefits from platinum partner status, the second level in the German club's sponsorship hierarchy. This agreement also includes Bayern Munich's professional basketball team (easyCredit BBL).

"In particular, this focus includes solutions for, and the use of, efficient energy-storage technology and energy-management systems for the Allianz Arena (75,000 capacity) and the training facilities (and club offices) on Saebener Street in Munich. These technologies are to help FC Bayern Munich take the next steps toward boosting the energy efficiency of its operations in sports and business activities - and thus enable the club to play a leading role in Europe when it comes to sustainability," said Siemens the same day (see details and history of the partnership below).
