French Professional Football League Secures Ball Supplier Contracts

12.28.2015

The French Professional Football League (LFP) "announced new ball supplier contracts with Uhlsport and Hungaria," according to SOCCEREX. Uhlsport, a German brand, "remains the official ball supplier of Ligue 2, France’s second-tier soccer division, after signing a new five-year deal" that will run until the end of the '21-22 season. The agreement "expands the company's presence" in French football, following the contract it signed last month to supply balls to Ligue 1 for the same period. Uhlsport "relinquished its role as the official ball supplier of the country's League Cup competition, the Coupe de la Ligue." That responsibility "will now fall to Hungaria." Financial terms of both contracts "have not been released" (SOCCEREX, 12/23).
