Werder Bremen Get Matthäi as New Shirt Sponsor - No More PHW Group's Brands

Update: Werder Bremen have now announced that Matthäi will be the club's new shirt sponsor replacing PHW Group's brands WIESENHOF and GREEN LEGEND .

Matthäi's logo will be in front of Bremen's shirt starting from the 2023/24 season and the deal will go though until the 2025/26 season. The German-based building construction company have actually been part of The Green-Whites’ Top partner since 2019 but they have now expanded their collaboration.

Werder Bremen to Have New Shirt Sponsor

Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen will have a new shirt sponsor starting next season as their 11-year deal with PHW Group comes to an end.

This current season will be the last time that Bremen’s fans will be seeing PHW’s brands such as WIESENHOF and GREEN LEGEND again.

PHW Group's Brands End Shirt Sponsor Deal With Bremen

According to the club’s official statement, after spending 11 years together, the time has come for them to find a new shirt partner. Bremen are grateful for their strong partnership, but both parties are not completely parting ways.

PHW will remain one of The Green-Whites' partners, but on a smaller scale, no longer serving as their main shirt sponsor.

The end of PHW Group's brands being Bremen’s shirt sponsor might actually excite some of the club’s fans. The Green-Whites’ decision of collaborating with the famous German-based poultry company received negative voices from some of the supporters, especially the first time the deal happened in 2012.

Bremen’s CEO, Klaus Filbry also confirmed that the club will be getting a new sponsor as they are currently in talks with potential candidates. However, there’s still no final agreement just yet but the Bundesliga side are confident that they will get a worthy shirt deal sometime soon.

“We have found ourselves in good talks with potential candidates from some time and are very optimistic that we will be able to announce a conclusion shortly that will put us in a good position in terms of main and shirt sponsor for the next few years,” Filbry revealed.

Aside from getting a new shirt sponsor, in the future, Bremen could reportedly sign with a new kit manufacturer once their current deal with Umbro ends after the 2024/25 season. We previously reported that The Green-Whites might return with Hummel.
