Pferdesport Deutschland faces sponsorship payment dispute

Pferdesport Deutschland is facing financial difficulties following the non-payment of sponsorship funds by Al Shira'aa Stables. The United Arab Emirates-based company, which holds a sponsorship contract valid through 2027, has failed to provide the 200,000 Euro payment agreed upon for 2026.

Managing Director Dennis Peiler confirmed the situation, noting that the association is in contact with the partner. The association has reached out to the United Arab Emirates ambassador in Berlin for assistance and is considering legal action or formal warning proceedings.

In addition to the Bundeschampionate, reports indicate that tournaments in Münster and Hamburg, also sponsored by Al Shira'aa Stables, are awaiting payments. Despite these issues, officials stated that the Bundeschampionate remains financially stable.
