Puma has signed a new multi-year partnership with the Egyptian Football Association, which will see the brand once again team up with Africa’s most successful team.

The deal allows PUMA to continue its proud legacy with teams on the African continent and cement its reputation as a leading supplier to football teams in the region.

‘Egypt has an amazing track record and we are very excited to once again supply them with our products,’ said Johan Adamsson, Director of Sports Marketing & Sports Licensing at PUMA. ‘We hope that PUMA and the Pharaohs can continue where they left off, by taking the title in the next Africa Cup of Nations in 2019.’

The partnership between PUMA and Egypt will build on a proud legacy: When the Pharaohs last wore PUMA, they won three consecutive continental titles between 2006 and 2010, an unprecedented feat in the tournament’s history. Overall, Egypt has won seven continental titles, making it the most successful team in African football.

Starting 2019, PUMA will provide all representative national teams, including men’s, women’s and youth teams, with official kits.

‘It is great to be back with the big cat in 2019. We share many happy and successful memories together and hope we will hit the ground running in what will be a very important year for Egyptian football,’ said Hany Abo Rida, President of the Egyptian Football Association.
