With five wins and two draws so far, 1. FC Union Berlin have started the Bundesliga season more successfully than ever before. The new season kicked off in early August with the derby against Hertha BSC, and for the first time since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, children were finally allowed to accompany the professionals of both teams onto the pitch.

Mittelbrandenburgische Sparkasse (MBS) has been a partner of this event for many years. As part of its commitment as a top sponsor of 1. FC Union Berlin, MBS not only makes children's eyes light up, but has also been a reliable financial service provider for Union and all Union players since 2012.

Union and MBS are also entering what is now their fourth season together in  football's top flight, a sponsorship agreement that was extended by a further year at the start of the season.

"We are very fortunate to have MBS at our side, a partner that has been with us for 10 years. Developing future perspectives together with long-time companions and at the same time continuing the tried and tested is what sets us apart," said Jan Boysen, Managing Director Marketing and Sales of 1. FC Union Berlin, commenting on the contract extension.

"The establishment of 1. FC Union Berlin in the Bundesliga fills us and thousands of football-loving Brandenburgers with pride. We look forward to continuing this success story together and will continue to stand on the side of the Unioners," said Andreas Schulz, CEO of MBS.
