Hoffenheim empowered by renewed stadium deal

Solar energy provider Wirsol has agreed a two-year extension to its stadium naming rights deal with German Bundesliga football team TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

The partnership was first established in 2011 and Hoffenheim’s home stadium will continue to be known as the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar Arena.

Wirsol now forms part of the Wircon Wind & Solar group after the firm encountered financial difficulties last year.

Hoffenheim is currently ninth in the Bundesliga standings with four matches of the 2013-14 season remaining.
