FC Lorient is pleased to announce today the signing of a collaboration agreement with Joma, a Spanish brand founded in 1965.
Joma thus becomes the official kit supplier for the Merlus for the coming seasons, including the centenary season. It will outfit all teams at the club: from the professional squads to the women’s team, as well as the youth academy and the association.
Joma, internationally recognized for the quality of its official kits and its commitment to the clubs it partners with (such as Villarreal, Anderlecht, or Brentford), had a strong presence last summer during the Paris Olympic Games, where it outfitted around 15% of participating athletes and supplied equipment to about ten national Olympic committees, including Spain and Portugal, as well as over twenty national federations.
This new partnership marks the beginning of an adventure between two strong entities that share common ambitions: performance, innovation, and a connection to their region.
Testimonies on the agreement
Loïc Féry, President of FC Lorient:
“We are very happy to welcome Joma to the heart of the Merlus family. Continuing our story with a renowned Spanish partner is a true vote of confidence in our ideas and our identity. This partnership reflects a shared desire to develop an ambitious and coherent sporting project, in line with the image of our club. Joma convinced us with its family history, creativity, and expertise in sports equipment.”
Marina López, CEO of Joma Sport S.A:
“At Joma, we continue to work to offer the best product, with constant technological evolution and a daily commitment to providing the best to those who give their all in their sport.”
“That’s why we are delighted to collaborate with FC Lorient, and excited to support them on their journey in Ligue 1. This partnership is a major milestone for Joma Sport in French football, and it’s an honour to be the club’s official technical sponsor. The commitment to excellence and the ambition to offer the best are fundamental values in Joma’s philosophy, which we share with FC Lorient.”
The away and third kits will be unveiled on Wednesday, July 9. The centenary home kit will be revealed on the occasion of the friendly match against Osasuna on July 19.
FC Lorient and Joma thank companies TMA and ISL for their contribution to the signing of this partnership.
