Macron targets glory with Perth

Sportswear manufacturer Macron has signed up as an official apparel partner of Australian A-League football club Perth Glory.

The deal will run for two seasons, from 2013-14 to 2014-15.

“Macron had a genuine enthusiasm and a long-term vision to invest in both our club and in the sport in Western Australia and Australia and that went beyond merely supplying product,” Glory general manager Anthony Radich said.

The Italian company is the official apparel partner of top-tier Serie A teams Lazio, Napoli and Bologna in its home market, as well as Spanish Liga team Real Betis and English Premier League team Aston Villa.
