E-sports department – main sponsor extends contract

Happy news for FC Schalke 04. The main sponsor of the S04 e-sports department has extended its partnership.

This is good news for the e-sports department of the second division soccer club FC Schalke 04: R+V and Schalke 04 Esports are extending their cooperation.

R+V has been the main sponsor of S04 Esports since 2019. For the third time, the cooperative insurer is now prematurely extending its agreement with the royal blue team for a further two years. Not only will R+V continue to be visible to all fans on the jerseys of the Schalke esports team, it will also remain the namesake of the R+V-Gaming House, the training and gaming facility for all esports teams at Berger Feld.

“We appreciate the continued trust that R+V has placed in us for five years now,” emphasizes Florian Dederichs, Director of Sales, Sponsoring and Service at FC Schalke 04. ”The fact that we are continuing this special partnership once again impressively underscores our shared conviction that we want to continue to set innovative standards on and off the virtual playing field in the future. Together with R+V, we want to continue to inspire our community with exciting content from the world of e-sports.”

R+V offers its customers the appropriate services and products and is at their side for prevention and in specific cases. Since 1922, the insurance expert has been part of the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken cooperative financial network.

Jens Hasselbächer, Member of the Board of Management, Customers & Sales at R+V Versicherung: “R+V Versicherung and Schalke 04 Esports have been working together excellently for years. We share the same values, as our campaigns against cyberbullying and for social engagement have shown. I am therefore pleased that we are continuing our successful partnership. R+V is enthusiastic about esports and will therefore remain firmly connected to the esports community in the future.”
