Eintracht Frankfurt has announced a strategic three-year partnership with Condor Flugdienst GmbH, marking a significant collaboration between one of Germany’s most historic football clubs and a leading airline with deep roots in Frankfurt.

Under the agreement, which runs through the end of the 2027/28 season, Condor will support Eintracht’s men’s and women’s professional teams, youth divisions, and club sports. The partnership also extends to innovative digital projects through the club’s subsidiary, EintrachtTech.

Aligning Regional Identity with International Reach

With all three of Eintracht Frankfurt’s main football teams qualifying for European competition — including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s Champions League play-offs, and the UEFA Youth League — international travel has become a logistical and strategic priority. The club sees Condor as a natural fit to meet those demands.

Axel Hellmann, CEO of Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG, said:

“In Condor, we welcome a partner that’s steeped in tradition and, like us, has strong roots in the region and at the same time has an international focus. This connection makes Condor the ideal companion on our travels – for the team, for the fans and for really special experiences surrounding our matches.”

The close geographic proximity of both organizations adds further synergy. Condor is currently headquartered in Neu-Isenburg and will relocate to Gateway Gardens near Deutsche Bank Park in 2026, bringing the partners even closer together.

Beyond Flights: Broader Fan and Athlete Experience Eintracht Frankfurt Condor

The partnership goes far beyond traditional sponsorship. Condor will develop tailored travel packages through Condor Holidays, provide special rates and benefits for athletes (especially those traveling with sports equipment), and offer additional perks like the Condor Card for fans and members. The airline will also play a role in away match logistics, particularly for Bundesliga fixtures, with routes such as Frankfurt–Munich, Frankfurt–Hamburg, and Frankfurt–Berlin seeing multiple daily flights.

Peter Gerber, CEO of Condor, emphasized the strategic alignment:

“The connection to our home city of Frankfurt, combined with our international commitment, makes Eintracht Frankfurt and Condor ideal partners. We are proud to embark on this new journey together to bring together the best for all athletes, loyal fans and travel enthusiasts.”

A Broader Platform for Innovation

As part of the collaboration, Condor will also be involved in digital innovation through joint efforts with EintrachtTech. This may include digital ticketing solutions, travel coordination platforms, and fan engagement tools, although specific projects have yet to be disclosed.

With this new partnership, Eintracht Frankfurt strengthens its positioning as a club ready to compete not only on the pitch but also in the international business of sport and fan experience.
