Eintracht suspends Russian sponsorship
Eintracht Frankfurt has suspended the sponsorship deal with Russian sponsor Kaspersky. This was explained by CEO Axel Hellmann to the FAZ. “Immediately after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, we sought a conversation with the management of Kaspersky to find out Kaspersky’s position on the Russian war of aggression. Since we were obviously not given a clear, coordinated position throughout the company until the Bayern game could be, we have agreed with the management of the region Germany, Austria and Switzerland to suspend the contract until further notice. That is why there was no advertising at the home game against FC Bayern”, Hellmann is quoted as saying. “We have also made it clear that we expect a clear distancing from any warlike action in the short term this week. If this does not happen, we will terminate the contract immediately,” Hellmann continued.
