French Rugby Federation Opens Tender Process To Find Next National Team Jersey Sponsor

The French Rugby Federation (FFR) officially launched its consultation period to find the next national team jersey sponsor from ’18-23, according to Alexandre Bailleul of SPORTBUZZ BUSINESS. The FFR is looking for a jersey partner for the period including the 2019 Japan World Cup and 2023 World Cup, “for which France is currently bidding to host.” Starting next year, French fans can “expect to see changes in visuals and aesthetic,” considering Le Coq Sportif will replace adidas as the national team’s official equipment provider in July. All offers for the sponsorship must be placed with the FFR no later than Nov. 16 (SPORTBUZZ BUSINESS, 11/6).
