Stuttgart sues shirt sponsor Winamax

VfB Stuttgart has lodged legal proceedings against its former shirt sponsor Winamax, sparking recent news in the sports world. This development comes after Stuttgart removed the French bookmaker’s logo from their jerseys for the DFB Pokal final. The dispute likely revolves around contractual obligations, possibly related to Stuttgart’s decision to switch to a new sponsor, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW), for the 2025-26 season

– *Lawsuit*: Stuttgart is suing Winamax due to undisclosed reasons, potentially related to breach of contract.

– *New Sponsor*: LBBW will replace Winamax as Stuttgart’s shirt sponsor from the 2025-26 season, in a deal worth €25 million over three years.

– *Previous Issues*: Winamax had previously accused Stuttgart of breaching their contract after a last-minute change to team shirts, particularly when Stuttgart had to remove the Winamax logo for Champions League matches due to UEFA’s rules against betting sponsors .
