Hamburg extends deal with IT company

Telecommunications provider QSC has extended its commercial partnership with German Bundesliga top-flight football club Hamburg SV.

The new deal will run until the end of the 2015-16 season.

QSC will retain its position as the official IT partner of the club and continue to operate a wireless system in the club’s Imtech Arena, allowing 10,000 fans to access the internet via a mobile device at home games.

In addition, QSC’s enterprise resource planning system will remain in place to assist the club with financial accounting, merchandising, and customer and member management.

QSC will also take over the sponsorship of the club's ‘Sports XPERTS’ project, in which children and teenagers are taught about how to handle different media.
