Malawi FA nets Umbro partnership

The Malawi Football Association (FAM) has agreed a three-year deal with Umbro to make UK-based sportswear provider its technical sponsor.

Under the deal, Umbro will launch new kits for Malawi’s national team on October 7.

Malawi will wear Umbro match kits for the first time in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Algeria on October 11.

Umbro will also supply training equipment to all of the FAM’s national teams.

FAM’s agreement with Umbro comes after the termination of its agreement with Puma, which started in 2010.
