Thanks to its commitment, the club can also rely on the partnership-based cooperation with Volkswagen. As the main sponsor and shareholder of the club, the Group not only guarantees VfL Wolfsburg a good infrastructure in Wolfsburg with the Volkswagen Arena, but has also organized and hosted e-sports events together with the club - such as the launch event for the new 'FIFA 20' edition this September.

'With the help of Volkswagen, we are in a position to carry out this e-sports commitment in the first place,' says Christopher Schielke, Head of 'E-Sports and Digital Projects' in the Corporate Development department at VfL Wolfsburg. 'A large number of young, enthusiastic fans follow our e-athletes on social channels and play with them here at local events in the Volkswagen Arena - and indeed in large numbers,' says Schielke. 'This also convinced the hardliners that e-sports can be an important part of the entire club.'
