Basketball Bundesliga signs partner, Skyliners pen extension

German Basketball Bundesliga club Fraport Skyliners has extended a deal with its title sponsor, while the league has entered into a partnership with fences and gates manufacturer Ranko.

Fraport, a transport company that services Frankfurt Airport, has signed a four-year deal and will continue to feature in the Skyliners’ name.

Company branding will remain on the front of the Skyliners’ playing jerseys and the team’s home stadium will also continue to be known as Fraport Arena.

Meanwhile, Ranko has agreed to become an official referee partner until the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Ranko branding will appear on the front and back of all referees at games, as well as on the Bundesliga website and official league advertising material.

The deal was brokered by the Infront Sports & Media agency, which serves as the official marketing partner of Bundesliga.
