While the 2025-2026 season is approaching, changes in equipment manufacturers continue to be announced everywhere in Europe. In France alone, several teams will experience a new partnership: this is the case of Mizuno which arrives at AS Monaco, this is probably the case of Lorient and Le Havre, and it is also a reality on the side of Nice where Kappa replaces the sports rooster.
Puma, equipment supplier of City Football Group?
Placed in receivership in early spring, the emblematic French brand based in Romilly-sur-Seine is no longer able to support high-level teams. While the OGC Nice announced its new agreement a few weeks ago, it is very recently that the Troyes football club (ESTAC) formalized the arrival of PUMA replacing the French brand.
If the departure of Le Coq Sportif is a surprise for anyone in view of the brand's situation, the arrival of Puma is also the logical continuation of events. Integrated into the City Football Group since September 2020 alongside clubs such as Manchester City, Girona, Palermo or Melbourne City, Estac becomes the 9th CFG club to wear scratches from the brand to the Félin. In the exception department, we find in particular New York City FC since the MLS has Adidas as a single equipment supplier.
Now under contract with Puma within the framework of a “multi -year partnership”, as the official press release from the brand and the club states, the ESTAC should be able to unveil its new jerseys in the coming days, once the date of July 1 is passed.
