Portugal Football Federation extends Nike partnership
October 12, 2017
The Portugal Football Federation (FPF) has extended its sponsorship partnership with Nike for a further six years.
The deal, which is currently in its 20th year, will see the sportswear company supply kit for 25 of the FPF’s teams until 2024.
Fernando Gomes, president of the FPF, said: “It has been 20 years since Nike started collaborating with the FPF. Since then, the first team has qualified for ten consecutive final stages, including next summer’s tournament in Russia.
“We are proud to extend our relationship with a brand that shares the FPF’s values. This is a connection made of seriousness, loyalty and stability, sharing common values without ever neglecting professionalism.”
Bert Hoyt, vice president and general manager of Nike, said he was “very pleased to extend the partnership with FPF” and vowed “to continue to provide the Portuguese teams with the most innovative equipment, following the success that the two brands have lived together.”
The extension arrives at the most successful time in Portugal’s footballing history after Fernando Santos’s side beat France to win Euro 2016 last summer.
