Berlin - Borussia Dortmund have won a three-year contract renewal with their main sponsor Evonik Industries until 2016, the Bundesliga champions and leaders said on Monday.

No financial details were released but Dortmund reportedly received 7.5 million euros (9.8 million dollars) per season, plus bonusses based on success, under the old deal.
Dortmund were close to bankruptcy in 2005, but have managed a turnaround and also became successful on the pitch again with the 2011 Bundesliga title.
