PUMA stattet weiterhin alle Teams im Männer-, Frauen- und Jugendfußball der Gladbacher mit Trikots, Trainingsbekleidung und Accessoires aus und bleibt offizieller Partner für Replika-Trikots und Fanartikel. PUMA und die Fohlenelf waren bereits von den 1960er Jahren bis 1992 ein Team, ein sehr erfolgreicher Abschnitt der Vereinsgeschichte, der mit acht Titelgewinnen (fünf Deutsche Meisterschaften, zwei UEFA-Cup-Siege, ein DFB-Pokalsieg) seine Höhepunkte fand.

„PUMA und Borussia Mönchengladbach verbindet eine lange, erfolgreiche Geschichte, die wir seit 2018 fortsetzen“, sagt PUMA CEO Bjørn Gulden. „Wir freuen uns, auch in den kommenden Jahren dem Verein als Partner zur Seite zu stehen, großartige Fußball-Momente zu erleben und Produkte zu liefern, die die Fans begeistern“.

In den vergangenen Jahren stellte PUMA gemeinsam mit dem Verein vom Niederrhein spannende Kollektionen und Sondertrikots vor, so etwa ein ganz in Schwarz gehaltenes Trikot zum 120-jährigen Bestehen von Borussia Mönchengladbach 2020.

Auch für die nächste Bundesligasaison 2022/23 verbindet PUMA die Geschichte des Vereins mit der Moderne und präsentiert ein traditionelles weißes Trikot mit zentralen schwarzen und grünen Streifen in einem zeitlosen Stil.

„Es war schon 2018 eine große Euphorie im Borussia-Umfeld darüber zu spüren, dass PUMA wieder unser Ausrüster wird. Umso größer ist jetzt die Freude, dass wir unsere Zusammenarbeit mit PUMA vorzeitig und langfristig verlängern konnten“, sagt Borussias Geschäftsführer Stephan Schippers. „Unser Verein hat mit PUMA an seiner Seite große Erfolge gefeiert. PUMA und Borussia, das gehört zusammen.“

Under the new terms, PUMA will continue to supply performance apparel for the men’s, women’s, and youth teams, and utilize the style, fashion, and culture of Milan to develop performance and off-pitch lifestyle product that taps into the unique Milanese style. This will see both brands continue to collaborate beyond the pitch on innovative and fashionable collections that connect with football culture and reinforce Milan’s global footprint.

“This is a fantastic next step for our partnership with AC Milan, two brands with a focus on diversity, inclusivity, innovation, performance and football culture,” said Bjørn Gulden, Chief Executive Officer, PUMA. “Our aim is to drive performance innovation and lifestyle apparel on and off pitch. We want to continue to be two of the most sustainable brands in football and support women’s football. This partnership will also see PUMA invest in the Vismara Performance Center. This will be a special place to develop future stars at AC Milan and bring both our brands closer together.”

“We are immensely proud to continue on this journey with our long-standing partner PUMA, our Principal Partner since 2018. Over the years, working side by side with PUMA has allowed us to build a solid and authentic partnership based on performance, football culture and shared values, always with a progressive approach,” commented Ivan Gazidis, AC Milan CEO. “We are excited to start this new chapter in our relationship, which will focus strongly on the development of women’s football and the next generation of talent, both of which are perfectly aligned with our vision for the Club.”

The two global icons join forces in an official sponsorship agreement for the upcoming 2023-2024 season.

PUMA, one of the world’s leading sports brands, has announced its official five-year sponsorship with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal FC, one of the world’s most decorated football clubs. 

The groundbreaking partnership unites the two global giants as they come together to transform the country’s thriving and passionate football culture with dynamic new initiatives and products.

PUMA will design unique bespoke team wear and training equipment using its signature ULTRAWEAVE technology for both the Al-Hilal men and women’s football teams starting the 2024-2025 season. The partnership marks PUMA’s continued expansion into football, meeting the region’s ever-growing passion for the game with the Arab World’s most celebrated and successful football club.

Commenting on the partnership, The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al-Hilal Club Mr. Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafel said: “We’re delighted about this new partnership with PUMA until 2027. The long-term nature of this agreement means both parties are committed to work together with a strong focus on bringing global exposure for the team as well as developing new campaigns and initiatives which place our communities in the spotlight. We are excited to start our journey together with PUMA being the first in the region with our very own bespoke kit designs and we believe that this partnership will set a new benchmark for Saudi football.”

PUMA Middle East GM, Taner Seyis, added: “The partnership we signed with Al-Hilal provides new opportunities with one of the world’s most passionate football fanbases, in a market that is seeing unprecedented growth and dynamism across all industries. We are committed to working together with Al-Hilal, in the Kingdom and globally, to deliver impact both on and off the pitch.”

As part of the partnership, we will see both organizations working together to provide long-term initiatives for Saudi youth, connect with local communities, and create exclusive PUMA product ranges to the delight of fans across the Kingdom and the globe. 

To accompany the launch of the new Home kit, PUMA and AC Milan unveiled a new video featuring the captain of the men’s team, Davide Calabria, alongside Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leão, Mike Maignan Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, and Charles De Ketelaere. The video also includes AC Milan women’s team players, Kosovare Asllani and Nesrien Bahlouli. The video highlights the main element of the new jersey design in which the ‘M’ serves as a link between the Club and the city. Iconic elements of the city appear in the video, illuminated by red and black lights to symbolize the passion for AC Milan worldwide.

Casper Stylsvig, Chief Revenue Officer at AC Milan, commented: The Rossoneri jersey has always been the emblem of the DNA of our Club and of our fans. A symbol of passion capable of going beyond the playing field, expressing a sense of belonging and style on the pitch, in the stands, and in the lives of all the fans, transcending into a lifestyle icon. Today, more than ever, with the launch of this new Home kit, we reaffirm our bond with the city of Milan, celebrating its vibrant energy and the attitude of its citizens, who embody the innovative and progressive spirit of this fantastic city.”

"We are incredibly proud of our partnership with AC Milan and the kit for the upcoming season. The design is reflective of PUMA’s mission to forever evolve sportswear, and it embodies AC Milan’s progressive spirit. This jersey is more than a kit; it’s a symbol of unity and forward momentum for the team, the city, and its loyal supporters," said Marco Mueller, PUMA Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel.

The new jersey features cutting-edge technology to provide optimal performance and comfort on the pitch. Engineered with ULTRAWEAVE fabric, the kit boasts a structured, 4-way stretch design that reduces weight and friction, allowing players to move freely and comfortably. The dryCELL technology integrated into the fabric is designed to keep your body free from sweat.

The Replica version is made with 100% recycled polyester and equipped with dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the 90 minutes and beyond – no matter the time, pitch or place. Both jerseys are made with 100% recycled materials, excluding the trims and decorations as a step toward a better future.

Celebrate the City of Milan with the 2023/24 AC Milan Home kit available from June 1st at PUMA stores, PUMA .com, the AC Milan store at the AC Milan Stadium, store.acmilan.com and at select retailers worldwide.

AC Milan will debut the new Home kit on June 4th in their Serie A fixture against Hellas Verona FC.
