Today SK Gaming is strengthening its position in the German esports market with the addition of yet another premium brand to its portfolio of partners. A leading company in Germany’s food retail market, REWE is our new nutritional partner.

Here at SK Gaming we have put a lot of focus on the nutrition of our esports athletes for a long time now and it is a great reassurance for us that going forward we can rely on the fresh and high quality food REWE provides daily to millions of people in Germany (and Europe overall). Being a fellow Cologne-based company and also already sponsoring our friends and shareholders from 1. FC Köln, the connection between our companies was evident to both sides and we are excited about working together for years to come.

Alexander T. Müller, CEO of SK Gaming, shared the following: “As a Cologne-based company, the partnership with REWE is of course a matter close to our hearts. We are looking forward to working together in the future and we feel assured that we can fall back on a regionally and nationally strong partner with a lot of experience in the nutrition sector, who also shares a love for 1. FC Köln.”

“Esports is a dynamically growing digital sport, both nationally and internationally, which will continue to gain attractiveness in the coming years, especially for young target groups, and which has great potential for growth. We are very pleased that we, as a Cologne-based company, are taking the next step in our esports activities together with the Cologne-based company SK Gaming and that we can further expand the competence we have gained in esports with this strong partner”, said Lionel Souque, CEO of REWE Group.

The REWE logo will occupy central spaces in the SK Gaming player facilities in Cologne and Berlin, as well as a sleeve spot on our 2022 jersey which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
