Visit Tampa Bay has partnered with German soccer team FC St. Pauli
“Wilken Engelbracht, Commercial Director of FC St. Pauli said: “This partnership opens up new opportunities for us to strengthen our international relationships.”
“We look forward to a successful collaboration and many joint projects.”
The initial two-year deal includes media opportunities and there will be a Tampa takeover in Hamburg in the near future.
Tampa Bay activations will take place at the Millerntor-Stadion throughout the season.
Germany is traditionally a leading international market for visitors to Tampa Bay.
“The culture surrounding St. Pauli FC reflects Tampa Bay’s high energy, spirit, and fun,” said Santiago C. Corrada, president and CEO of Visit Tampa Bay.
“St. Pauli’s skull-and-crossbones team flag embodies the spirit of swashbuckling rebellion.”
Visit Tampa Bay currently partners with all Tampa Bay-based sports franchises, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, The Tampa Bay Rowdies, The Tampa Bay Rays, The Tampa Bay Lightning, and Brentford FC in the English Premier League.
