Togolese Football Federation nets Macron deal

Italian sportswear manufacturer Macron has agreed a kit partnership with the Togolese Football Federation (FTF).

The two-year deal will run until the end of 2018, covering next year’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Gabon.

The FTF has been without a permanent kit supplier since its contract with German sportswear giant Puma expired in 2013.

The deal marks Macron’s first in African football, although the company has partnerships with a number of European clubs, including English Premier League sides Stoke City and Crystal Palace, French Ligue 1 outfit Nice and Italian Serie A team Cagliari.
