Germans sign sponsorship deal


German telecommunications operator Deutsche Telekom said on Thursday they would be continuing their sponsorship of the Bundesliga until 2009 but the league would not take the company's name.

Deutsche Telekom started their sponsorship this season but have now taken up their option of a two-year extension.

The company name will continue to adorn the shirts of first and second division teams as well as on the giant screens in the stadiums, a statement said, adding the actual league would not be renamed though press had speculated it would be called the T-Liga or Telekom-Liga.
