The new functional shirts were presented to the club at an official handover ceremony in the showroom at the main site in Kaisersesch on 11.11.2025. Board member Johannes Kirsch accepted the equipment on behalf of the JFV. The modern functional shirts are intended to equip several youth teams and thus sustainably support the club's important youth work. For young players in particular, high-quality equipment is an essential part of being able to take to the pitch with motivation and pride.

Johannes Kirsch, board member of JFV Schieferland, expressed his thanks for the renewed support on the occasion of the handover:

"The partnership with CLASSEN 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.
