Reece Australia ousts Adidas as German hockey partner

Hockey apparel and equipment manufacturer Reece Australia has agreed a kit deal with the German Hockey Federation (DHB) covering the next two editions of the summer Olympics.

Under the partnership, Germany’s national men’s and women’s teams will wear Reece kit during Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, along with all other international matches covered by the six-year contract.

Reece replaces German sportswear giant Adidas as a premium partner of the DHB.

Germany will host the International Hockey Federation’s 2015 Indoor World Cup in Leipzig and its youth squads – from Under-16 to Under-21 levels – are also covered by the Reece agreement.
