Cologne/Berlin, June 7, 2018. The Volleyball Bundesliga (VBL) and
sporttotal.tv gmbh, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPORTTOTAL AG, have signed
a cooperation agreement for the medialization of the top German volleyball
leagues of women and men. The plan is to support the volleyball sport of the
highest leagues as from the 2018/2019 season and to fully cover games of the

medialization of this fascinating sport and elevate it to a new digital
level. Our team is highly motivated and can hardly wait to get going."
Klaus-Peter Jung, General Manager of the Volleyball Bundesliga: "In future,
volleyball will be presenting a more innovative face. Automated production
and streaming are the future. And as a league Association we want to
actively shape this development of the world's most popular team sport after
