PUMA North America entered a four-year partnership with the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) making the it brand the official ball supplier of the MISL.
“The MISL is a dynamic, up and coming organization bringing a new excitement to the indoor game and the league serves as a great platform for PUMA to launch our new v1.06 MISL Match Ball,” said John Stevenson, Vice President and General Manager of Performance Sports for PUMA North America. “By partnering with MISL, PUMA will expand our reach within the soccer community and reinforce our strong soccer heritage.”
As part of PUMAs four-year partnership with the MISL, PUMA will not only become the exclusive MISL Game Ball for MISL and all MISL member clubs, but also will produce the MISL Replica Ball, Mini Ball and supply the Official MISL Camp Ball in support of the leagues grass roots efforts. PUMA will become the exclusive title sponsor of the annual MISL Scoring Champion Award and receive brand exposure within all MISL print publications, the league web site and during all games via arena boards, scoreboard & jumbo-tron advertising, PA announcements and TV spots during local television broadcasts. Lastly, PUMA will hold the rights to the leagues team badges, allowing for the creation of replica-influenced product in the coming seasons.
“PUMA is not only an exceptional brand, but it is a prominent and significant player on the international soccer stage,” stated MISL Commissioner Steve Ryan. “It is a true testament to the vitality of the MISL as a soccer brand to have the opportunity to partner with John Stevenson and his team as they develop and bring to market a world-class, custom-designed match play ball, replica ball, and mini ball. I look forward to a long and successful relationship with PUMA as we grow and expand our joint initiatives.”
