Sponsorships

Sport. Nutrition. Community involvement.
These are the cornerstones of our sponsoring activities.

Sports

Football
Team spirit. Speed. Emotion. Lust for life. These are the things that connect football and REWE. The REWE Group is title sponsor and shirt sponsor of 1. FC Cologne. In addition to that, REWE Dortmund sponsors Borussia Dortmund and REWE Central Region is a sponsor of Eintracht Frankfurt. REWE Southwest Region supports SV Sandhausen and REWE East Region sponsors 1. FC Union Berlin and 1. FC Magdeburg. In northern Germany, Hamburger SV is sponsored by REWE Northern Region. In Austria, REWE International AG sponsors Fußballklub Austria Wien. The Hungarian clubs, Puskás Akadémia FC and Ferencvárosi Torna Club along with the Groupama Aréna stadium are sponsored by PENNY Market Hungary. PENNY Romania has been the partner of the Romanian Football Federation for several years now.

German footballer, Thomas Müller, has supported REWE for many years now with his genuine and likeable manner.

From handball to marathons

Aside from many football partnerships both large and small, REWE is also involved with other sports clubs such as the handball clubs SC DhfK Handball Leipzig and the Rhein-Neckar-Löwen, and the basketball clubs FC Bayern Basketball and Phoenix Hagen. Another key partnership is REWE Final 4, the national handball league cup final – a unique sporting event that brings together handball enthusiasts in Cologne every year.

For many years now, runners in the GENERALI Cologne Marathon have been supplied with energy-rich food and drink along the marathon route and at the REWE Group Refreshment Village.

E-Sports

REWE is a partner of SK Gaming, one of the best known e-sports brands. As an official nutrition partner, REWE contributes its expertise in this area by providing fresh food and nutrition plans, for example.

In March 2020, REWE became shirt sponsor of the ‟FIFAˮ e-sport team of 1. FC Cologne in the virtual Bundesliga.

Ice hockey

PENNY is a proud supporter of German ice hockey. Since season 2020/21, PENNY acts as the first title sponsor of the German ice hockey league. In the newly named PENNY DEL, the highest national league, the partnership is visible in the arenas in many ways. In addition to the kick plate, PENNY is also present with perimeter, under ice and goal branding, among others. Exciting off-ice events, such as the PENNY DEL barbecue championship or the “master market” of the Eisbären Berlin complement the partnership.

Moreover, PENNY supports the German Ice Hockey Union (DEB) as a premium partner and engages in the work with new German talents and the para national team. PENNY is also a partner of the eDEL during season 2022/2023. With this involvement, PENNY strengthens its strategic and holistic partnership with regard to the world’s fastest team sport. All news and information about the involvement can be found at www.penny.de/eishockey.

PENNY.Festivals

After 7 years of “PENNY goes Party”, a new era is kicking off with PENNY.Festivals. PENNY began its support of the German festival scene as a sponsoring partner for PAROOKAVILLE in 2015. After being involved in many different festivals and parties, the discounter is now focusing its efforts, and PENNY.Festivals will be sponsor and supplier for the entire festival experience.

In addition to Parookaville 2022, PENNY.Festivals will be doing all sorts of cool promotions at many other festivals. PENNY.Festivals will be on hand as a key player for festival stores, food trucks, kiosks, shuttle buses, environmentally friendly hangout areas, and more.

The motto “There’s no festival without you!” says it all. PENNY.Festivals will be doing everything to make sure that music fans have an unforgettable summer of festivals – because PENNY.Festivals is there for you and for everyone, now and in the future!
