Kappa replaces Joma at Standard Liege

Italian sportswear company Kappa has reached a three-year agreement to serve as the new kit manufacturer for Belgian Pro League football team Standard Liege.

Kappa’s partnership with Standard is effective from the 2015-16 season and runs until the end of the 2017-18 campaign. Spanish manufacturer Joma has supplied Standard Liege’s kits for the past four seasons.

Kappa will help to develop a new online store for Standard Liege, while the kits will also be sold across the club’s official shops and the United Brands retail chain, which owns the Kappa brand licence in Belgium.

Standard joins German Bundesliga teams Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfL Wolfsburg, along with Italian Serie A club Torino, among Kappa’s European football partners.
