In addition, the company based in Cologne will be the official partner of the Bayer 04 Women's team. Thomas Eichin, head of professional football at Bayer 04 and also responsible for the club's Women's team, said: "The fact that a nationally known and successful company has particular interest in being involved with our Women's team is a further indication things are moving in the right direction."

Dirk Heisterkamp, head of sales and marketing at Früh Kölsch, said: "We are very much looking forward to a long-term partnership with Bayer 04 and in particular with the Bayer 04 Women's teams. We have taken the decision to support the team in the Women's Bundesliga and are very excited about working together.
