Amazon supports Slask Wroclaw and Lech Poznan
Amazon – an American international e-commerce company – became new sponsor of
Slask Wroclaw and Lech Poznan. The logo of this global giant found its place on Slask’s
shirts during its last match against Lechia Gdansk. The debut with Lech will take place in
the nearest weekend.
- We have just opened two logistic centres of Amazon in Wroclaw. We are going to employ 2500
workers and additional 4000 for some part of year. This is long-term investment and we want to play
active role in life of local society. That’s why we decided on partnership with Slask, which is
significant element of Wroclaw’s landscape – said Kerry Person, Amazon’s chief executive in Central
and Eastern Europe.
This partnership lets Amazon call itself an official partner of Slask. It’s logo will be placed on shirts
under players’ numbers, on club’s stadium bands, website and its publications. During the match
with Lech Poznan Amazon is going to be presented as a partner of both clubs.
- We are proud that Slask can take advantage of such renowned partner’s support. Amazon is said to
be one of the biggest company on global market. I am sure it will give our region chance of
development. This partnership should give both sides a lot of satisfaction – said Marek Drabczyk,
vice-chairman of Slask Wroclaw.
The agreement of Amazon and Slask includes two matches in Ekstraklasa: with Lechia Gdansk and
Lech Poznan.
- I do believe that this is just a beginning of long-term partnership – added Drabczyk.
