The agreement will continue to support due diligence investigations into prospective sponsors and commercial partners, helping protect the German club’s reputation and values.
Sportradar Group AG (NASDAQ: SRAD), a leading global sports technology company, and Borussia Dortmund (BVB), one of Europe’s most iconic football clubs, have announced an extension of their integrity partnership.
The agreement builds on an established relationship and reflects the growing importance of robust due diligence processes in modern sport.
Through comprehensive assessments of prospective commercial partners, Borussia Dortmund aims to identify organisations that align with the Club’s values, protect its reputation and support sustainable long-term growth.
As part of the agreement, Sportradar will continue conducting detailed background investigations into potential sponsors and commercial partners. Its due diligence reports for the Club will cover corporate structures, ownership and licensing arrangements, key personnel, business operations, regulatory compliance, and any legal or criminal proceedings that could pose potential reputational risks.
Andreas Krannich, Executive Vice President, Integrity Services at Sportradar, said:
“As the commercial landscape in sport continues to evolve, rights holders are looking beyond traditional sponsorship criteria and placing greater emphasis on long-term strategic fit.
“Borussia Dortmund recognises the importance of building partnerships that reflect the Club’s values, resonate with its supporters and create sustainable value for all parties involved.
“We are delighted to continue supporting the Club as it develops a strong ecosystem of trusted commercial relationships that contribute positively to its long-term ambitions.”
