Magyar Telekom has extended its sponsorship contract with the Telekom Veszprém men's handball team, which won the Hungarian Cup a few weeks ago and is heading to the EHF Final4 in Cologne this week-end. According to the agreement, Telekom will support the work of the men's adult and youth teams belonging to the Veszprém club as title sponsor for another four years, until the end of the 2025/2026 championship season.

The club has an extremely dedicated fan base, and with our digital solutions we will try to add to their fan experience in the years to come. We hope that we will be able to help Telekom Veszprém achieve significant success as the title sponsor for the next four years.”
