The Dutch football Premier League champions AZ, from the northern town of Alkmaar, have a new chief sponsor: service provider BUKO. BUKO is also located in the northern Netherlands, in the town of Beverwijk. The previous sponsor, the DSB Bank, declared bankruptcy in October 2009. Since then the Alkmaar team has been without a sponsor.
BUKO’s name will appear on the players’ shirt until the end of the current season. After that, the future of the team remains uncertain.
The shares of DSB Bank’s former chief, Dirk Scheringa, remain in the hands of an administrator as there is no buyer for them as yet.
