Sportradar extends due diligence partnership with Borussia Dortmund

The due diligence partnership between Sportradar and Borussia Dortmund has been renewed. The news points to a growing need among Europe's top football clubs for formal frameworks to screen their sponsors.

As their commercial portfolios expand, clubs have to check more carefully which companies and brands they work with. Partnerships of this kind cover regular processes used to examine a potential sponsor's background, financial structure and reputation.

The relationship between the betting and gaming sector and football clubs has been the subject of more debate recently. For this reason, sponsor screening matters for protecting the trust of both the club and its fans.

The news text does not give details such as the length of the renewal, its financial terms, or which steps the due diligence covers. This information may be disclosed later.
