Successful Kickoff to the BISON Matchdays at Sportfreunde Siegen
Siegen, October 21, 2026.
With a 3–1 home victory against the previous league leaders, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen, Sportfreunde Siegen celebrated a successful kickoff to the BISON Matchdays on Saturday, October 17, 2026. As the “Sponsor of the Day,” BISON Polymers GmbH accompanied the matchday at Leimbachstadion with a variety of activities for fans and visitors. The focus was on the Siegen-based company’s strong regional ties, its presentation as an employer, and the debut of its new corporate mascot, “BISO.”
Career Matchday: Getting to Know BISON as an Employer
With the BISON Matchdays, the company aims to strengthen its ties to the Siegen-Wittgenstein region while encouraging personal interaction with the local community. BISON is particularly keen to highlight that the region is home to emerging companies offering exciting developments and career opportunities worth exploring.
The first matchday provided numerous opportunities to do just that. At the BISON Career Point, interested visitors could learn more about the company, its production of nitrile disposable gloves “Made in Germany,” and career opportunities at its Siegen location.
Mascot “BISO” Delights Fans During Stadium Debut
One of the highlights of the day was the first public appearance of BISON’s new mascot, “BISO.” The blue bison spent the entire matchday exploring the stadium, greeting numerous visitors and posing for memorable photos with fans of all ages. BISO also enjoyed several friendly encounters with “Magolves,” the mascot of Sportfreunde Siegen.
BISO attracted additional attention through an accompanying Instagram campaign. Fans who shared a photo with the mascot had the chance to win prizes, including VIP tickets to another Sportfreunde Siegen home match. The campaign received a positive response. After the final whistle, some fans even described BISO as a lucky charm and expressed their hope to see the mascot return to the stadium.
Community, Regional Engagement and a Successful Matchday
The first BISON Matchday was also a special team experience for BISON Polymers employees. Together, they watched the match, cheered on Sportfreunde Siegen and celebrated the 3–1 victory over the Regionalliga West league leaders. Away from their daily work routines, the matchday provided an opportunity to strengthen team spirit and create lasting memories together.
With this successful kickoff, BISON Polymers has demonstrated its commitment to the region and its partnership with Sportfreunde Siegen. Future BISON Matchdays will continue to bring together exciting sporting experiences, personal interaction and a strong sense of community throughout the region.
