Bayern announce Qatar sleeve sponsorship deal

Bayern Munich have announced their first ever shirt sleeve sponsorship deal, a six-year contract with Qatar's Hamad International Airport. The logo with the Qatar Airways-owned airport will be worn by the German champions during Bundesliga matches from the start of the forthcoming season, which begins on Friday.

It builds on an existing sponsorship deal between the German giants and the airport signed in January 2016 for the carrier to advertise inside Bayern's home ground, the Allianz Arena.

"Starting this season, our players will feature the HIA-logo on the jersey's sleeves," Bayern's executive board member Andrea Jung told reporters during a press conference at the Doha airport.
