Austria Wien signs shirt sponsor

Austrian Bundesliga football club FK Austria Wien has agreed a shirt sponsorship deal with synthetic rubber and styrene plastic producer Synthos.

The two parties have signed a two-year deal covering the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.

Synthos’ branding will feature on the chest area of the club’s shirts, above that of main sponsor, electricity provider Verbund.

Austria Wien finished the 2016-17 Bundesliga season in second place. The club has had a disappointing start to the 2017-18 campaign, losing its opening two games.

Synthos, a Polish company, recently founded an Austrian branch.
