Leading European IT security
vendor joins BVB defense
ESET,
a cybersecurity vendor with its headquarters in Bratislava, Slovakia is the new
Champion Partner of the Borussia Dortmund (BVB)
football club – the highest possible level of partnership. Sponsoring and
cooperation plans are long-term and will last for the next three seasons of the
Bundesliga, the top tier league of German football. ESET will be supporting the
fans of the eight-time German Champion with activities and initiatives at all
17 home matches in the Bundesliga.
“Borussia Dortmund is one of
the most popular and well-liked teams in European club football,” happily noted
Richard Marko, CEO of ESET. “Just like BVB, ESET is also passionate and
dedicated towards its fans. That’s why sponsoring Borussia Dortmund is an ideal
place to meet so many enthusiastic supporters who want to enjoy great football
whether that’s on the field or while staying cyber safe and streaming online .”
Hans-Joachim Watzke, CEO of
Borussia Dortmund, also announced: “ESET and Borussia Dortmund are united by
their international appeal. Here, two brands popular in their respective
backgrounds meet. ESET stands for exactly those values that BVB embodies:
reliability, passion, courage and integrity. From the very beginning our
meetings were characterized by focus and mutual trust. We are very happy to
welcome ESET to our team of Champion Partners.”
True
love meets true security
The Internet has significantly
changed the way people experience their lives, and football is no exception.
ESET joining forces with BVB brings the worlds of football and internet safety
closer. This is especially important to the new spectrum of possibilities and
activities like streaming matches on the go, connecting with fellow fans
abroad, or hunting for rare collectables which have become a massive part of
fandom and the game itself.
Activities
for fans throughout the season
Fans can expect great activities during BVB
matches surrounding the topic of “cybersecurity and soccer” both online and
offline. So, let’s cheer on the black and yellow this August 17 as they battle
for a home victory against Augsburg.
