Energy provider returns to back German handball

The German Handball Association (DHB) has entered into a partnership with energy provider Goldgas.

The company has agreed an initial two-year deal to become the official energy partner of the DHB. The agreement begins immediately and will run until December 31, 2017.

As part of the deal, Goldgas will be promoted during television broadcasts of the men’s national team’s games, while its branding will appear on perimeter advertising boards inside arenas.

The company will also have a presence in official DHB publications and on the body’s digital and social media platforms. In addition, Goldgas will receive hospitality packages for German national team matches.

Goldgas has partnered with the DHB in the past, having sponsored the German men’s national team’s playing jerseys from 2010 to 2013.

“The return of one of our sponsors is a compliment and a testament to the growing appeal of the entire sport of handball,” Mark Schober, general secretary of the DHB, said.
