Osasuna announces partnership with Macron for the next six seasons
The Italian brand will dress Osasuna through 2030 as part of "the club's most important apparel deal in history"
Pamplona (Friday, June 7, 2024) — Club Atlético Osasuna signed a six-year deal with Macron, the club announced today. The partnership will begin on July 1 and run until 2030. During this time, Macron will be the club's official supplier for jerseys, training and travel kits and will have exclusive rights for accessories.
"We are delighted to join the Macron family in Osasuna's most important apparel deal in history. I thank Macron for their interest in making this partnership and our employees, who have done a great job helping the club grow," said Luis Sabalza, Osasuna president. "I am certain our fans will be delighted that Osasuna will have exclusive and personalized kits."
"I am happy to welcome into the Macron family a club so rich in history and charm as Osasuna, which represents a community where passion and a sense of belonging are the driving force behind every choice and activity," said Gianluca Pavanello, Macron CEO. "Osasuna and Navarre are full of stimuli to create unique collections that can express the spirit and pride of a team and an entire people."
Macron will dress the men's first team, affiliate, women's side, Foundation football schools, and the Interscholastic Tournament gear. Osasuna will enjoy a personalized design in its training gear, giving the Club new stylish options.
Even though the agreement is for six seasons, the club has added an automatic extension clause of one season for each season the men's first team plays at a lower division than LaLiga EA Sports until they reach a maximum of eight seasons.
Marcon will manage the team's official store
Another essential feature of the agreement is that Macron will become the manager of Club Atlético Osasuna's official store once the contractual relationship with Smarketing ends. The Italian firm will manage both the physical and online stores.
The space in El Sadar will double its capacity. In addition to Osasuna's apparel, which will include men's and women's clothing, Macron will also sell products from its 'team wear' and 'individuals' collections.
