Audi are 1899 Hoffenheim's new automobile partner

Audi's involvement with the Bundesliga "Autumn Champions" is a home game: AUDI AG's Neckarsulm production line is located just 30km from Hoffenheim. Many of the 13,600 workers at the plant, which produces the Audi A6 among other things, have followed the club on their road to success. The new partnership ensures this link is now an official one, and Audi will supply the manager and officials from 1899 with cars from their sport range. In return Audi will be able to advertise in the new Rhein Neckar Arena. Hoffenheim's new home will be opened shortly, and boasts a capacity of more than 30,000. Co-operation between the two businesses is also planned in advertising and further future ventures.

Alongside German clubs such as FC Bayern Munich, Hamburg SV and Hertha BSC as well as major international sides such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and AC Milan Hoffenheim have become part of AUDI AG's successful football family.
