Kappa rekindles ties with Real Betis

Italian sportswear manufacturer Kappa has signed a kit supplier partnership with Spanish LaLiga football club Real Betis.

The four-year deal covers the 2018-19 to 2021-22 seasons and will see Kappa provide the Seville-based club with on and off-field apparel.

Kappa previously partnered with Betis between 1995 and 2009. It will replace German sportswear company Adidas as the club’s kit supplier.

Ramón Alarcón, general manager of business at Real Betis, said: “Kappa is a constantly growing brand and we wanted to join them during this period of growth also at Real Betis. We want to keep growing together. We are also going to enter new distribution and sales channels. We believe this is going to be very productive for both parties.”

Betis finished the 2017-18 season in sixth place in LaLiga to secure qualification for next season's Uefa Europa League.
