AZ Alkmaar drinks to Amstel extension

Dutch Eredivisie football team AZ Alkmaar has agreed a five-year extension to its partnership with brewery Amstel.

The new deal will run until the end of the 2020-21 Eredivisie season. The two parties' current agreement was due to expire this summer.

Various ticket giveaways will be organised to promote the partnership. The agreement will see Amstel continue as a second-tier strategic partner of AZ, alongside Rabobank, Duetz, Rutienheer, HSB and Under Armour.

Amstel beer will continue to be served at AZ’s AFAS Stadion.
