CLASSEN once again supports the youth work of JFV Schieferland

Kaisersesch, November 13, 2025 – The CLASSEN Group is continuing its regional commitment to youth soccer and is supporting JFV Schieferland again this year with functional shirt sponsorship. In addition, a new advertising banner has been installed at the sports field in Kaisersesch, underlining the company's close ties to the region and youth soccer.

The new functional shirts were presented to the club during an official handover ceremony in the showroom at the main location in Kaisersesch on November 11, 2025. Board member Johannes Kirsch accepted the equipment on behalf of the JFV. The modern functional shirts will be used to kit out several youth teams, thereby providing long-term support for the club's important work with young talent. High-quality equipment is an essential part of motivating young players and instilling pride in them as they take to the pitch.

Johannes Kirsch, member of the board of JFV Schieferland, expressed his gratitude for the renewed support during the handover:

“The partnership with CLASSEN is extremely valuable to us. It shows that promoting youth soccer in our region is taken seriously. The new functional shirts give our young players a uniform, professional appearance—and that boosts motivation, team spirit, and identification. We are very grateful for this reliable collaboration.”

JFV Schieferland has been committed to the athletic and personal development of young people in the region for many years. Sponsorship initiatives such as this make an important contribution to ensuring that training and matches can take place at a high level. With the support of companies such as CLASSEN, the club can further expand its youth development work and offer young players optimal conditions.

In parallel with its commitment to youth soccer, the CLASSEN Group attaches great importance to promoting young people within its own company. With a wide range of apprenticeships, dual study programs, and diverse entry-level opportunities, CLASSEN offers teenagers and young adults attractive prospects for their professional future. Modern workplaces, diverse training opportunities, and practical training ensure that young professionals are optimally prepared for their future careers.
