New Balance has continued its expansion in football through a kit deal for the Costa Rica national team.
The partnership is effective from June this year and runs for eight years until 2023, taking in the 2018 and 2022 Fifa World Cups. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The US sportswear brand’s agreement with the Costa Rican Football Federation (Fedefutbol) follows its maiden partnership with a national federation – Panama’s FEPAFUT – last month.
New Balance replaces Italian manufacturer Lotto as Fedefutbol’s kit partner and it will supply kits to all male and female age group Costa Rica teams. It will also provide support through financial means and equipment to the Central American country’s domestic leagues.
