Well, this is a brand new ballgame!
What does nFuse have to do with sports? And, more specifically, baseball? nFuse is a high-tech company with IT people…
Well… one of our team members is an avid baseball fan, coach and player. Rutger, our nFuse MP, coaches and plays baseball in his free time. You can find him on a baseball field in Tongeren every Friday evening and Sunday morning.

Together with three more coaches, Rutger coaches the Junior and Minor teams. Since baseball is a lesser-known sport in Belgium, it got him thinking: can we get the team, and the sport, more out in the open in Belgium?
"Sharks Tongeren is quite a local club. Based on family values, fun and being social."
Rutger contacted Cronos to see if any sponsorships were available. And there were! We are delighted to have received sponsorship from Cronos. "A massive thank you, Cronos!"
Sharks Tongeren is not a big club and runs on volunteers only, so funding is always challenging. There is an ongoing dialogue with the city of Tongeren to assist the club with its infrastructure. You can imagine the grounds are quite extensive, and the fences and dug-outs require a lot of maintenance.
And being such a small club, with the intent to give everyone an equal opportunity to play, the club provides quite a lot for its players. Visit the Sharks website for more info!
On top of the sponsorship, nFuse decided to have several (quite large) banners printed with the Sharks logo, the Cronos logo, the Xplore Group logo and nFuse (of course). We are extremely proud to be that visible on the baseball field in Tongeren.
If you happen to live near Hasselt (the home base of nFuse) or Tongeren, be sure to visit the Sharks when they play at home. Check the schedule on the Sharks website.
