“Iconic jerseys”: Bayer 04 and Castore take impressive stock

After three years of successful cooperation, Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 2022 contract with sporting goods manufacturer Castore will expire at the end of the current football season. For both the German double winners and the prospering British company from Manchester, the partnership is already considered a milestone in the history of the respective clubs and companies.

“This partnership will go down in the history of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, as we won the German championship for the first time in Castore's iconic jerseys,” emphasizes Markus Breglec, Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer of Bayer 04. "That alone makes our relationship with Castore a special one. Together with Castore, we have also broken sales records in a way that nobody would have expected before," underlines Breglec. "Our cooperation was characterized by creativity and professionalism. For this, Castore deserves our sincere thanks and recognition. We wish Castore all the best for the future."
