Kipsta, the Decathlon-owned global football brand, will replace Molten as the official ball supplier of the Uefa Europa League and Conference League in the next three-year cycle.
The contract will run beginning next season running until 2027.
Kipsta also provides the official match ball for Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 in France, as well as for the Pro League in Belgium.
Guy-Laurent Epstein, UEFA marketing director, said, “We are thrilled to announce Kipsta as the official match ball supplier for the first time as we join forces with a brand that shares our passion for innovation, quality and the love of the game. Kipsta’s experience in providing top-quality balls and commitment to the sport will be tremendous assets as the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League enter into new eras.”
Fabien Brosse, chief products and sports officer of Decathlon, said, “UEFA’s decision recognises Kipsta’s expertise and ability to offer a high-level technical product that meets the highest standards. It also reinforces the commitment of the Kipsta teams to the practice of football, whether amateur or professional, throughout the world.”
