Overview

  • VfB Stuttgart lodged its complaint at the Landgericht Stuttgart civil chamber on June 13, claiming Winamax defaulted on contractual fee payments.
  • According to the club, Winamax stopped all sponsorship disbursements in spring despite a deal running until June 30, and ignored numerous payment reminders.
  • The dispute intensified around the DFB-Pokalfinale when Stuttgart donned jerseys featuring LBBW rather than Winamax logos on match day.
  • Winamax has countered by accusing VfB of reputation- and business-damaging actions after being sidelined at the cup final.
  • Landesbank Baden-Württemberg will officially take over as the club’s main and jersey sponsor next season following the early termination of the Winamax partnership.
