After the successful cooperation with FC Bayern Munich the second German club has been signed by Global Sportnet.

The Hamburg-based marketing and consulting company Global Sportnet, the leading independent marketing organisation in European football that specialises in marketing worldwide television and advertising rights, has secured the exclusive and worldwide television rights outside the territory of Germany to all home matches of 1. FC Union Berlin within the current UEFA Cup season 2001/2002.

After the recent completion of several similar contracts with European clubs such as FC PAOK, KVC Westerlo and FC Dinamo Tbilisi the agreement with Union Berlin underlines the efforts of Global Sportnet to strengthen its position in the German market as well.

Global Sportnet has also signed a contract with Rangers FC regarding the exclusive and worldwide television and advertising rights (outside the UK) to the third round Champions League qualifying match versus Fenerbahce Istanbul.

This contract with Rangers FC underlines the strong relationship between Global Sportnet and the Scottish club.

Within the previous years nearly all home matches of Rangers FC including the UEFA Cup ties against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Kaiserslautern have been marketed by Global Sportnet.
