OFB pours extension with Austrian Cup sponsor

Beverage producer Pfanner has renewed its partnership with the Austrian Cup club football competition.

The Austrian-based company sponsored last season’s tournament and has agreed to extend its backing to the 2015-16 edition.

As part of the agreement with the Austrian Football Association (OFB), Pfanner will receive pitch-side advertising during Austrian Cup games and its branding will also appear in the backdrop of television interviews. In addition, the company will receive tickets for matches.

The quarter-finals of this year’s Austrian Cup will take place on February 9-10, with reigning champion Red Bull Salzburg taking on Sturm Graz in the pick of the ties. The final is scheduled for May 20.

Pfanner also sponsors Austrian Bundesliga outfit SCR Altach.
