Sport unites performance, excitement, emotions, passion, values and inspiration – dimensions that are easy to understand regardless of language and culture. As a brand that prides itself on being a global player, Volkswagen therefore exhibits a great commitment to sport – and to soccer in particular. One outstanding example is its involvement in the German Football Association (DFB). VfL Wolfsburg, a fully-owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, functions as a flagship among the club partnerships. Volkswagen’s dedication to sport does, however, extend far beyond top-class and professional sport with its huge audience, and pursues an inclusive approach that explicitly encompasses amateur and popular sports as well particularly at the company's locations.
