PUMA and Mamelodi Sundowns announced a long-term partnership which will see PUMA become the official kit partner of the 7-time PSL champions.

This new commercial partnership represents the biggest football kit deal in PUMA South Africa and Mamelodi Sundowns football history.

Sundown’s profile, reputation and loyal fanbase presents PUMA with its most prominent South African platform to showcase its performance football products and new technologies.

‘Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club is proud to be partnering with a world leader in the technical sponsor space,’ said Sizwe Nzimande.

‘This partnership marks the start of the next chapter in the Mamelodi Sundowns history. This past season’s achievement of our unequalled 7th PSL title with a record-breaking 71 points, is hopefully the start of even greater things. Having a partner like PUMA to join us on this quest will undoubtedly be a great catalyst.

In addition to producing the playing and training kit for all Mamelodi Sundowns teams, PUMA has acquired wide-ranging licensing rights to develop other Mamelodi Sundowns branded merchandise.

‘PUMA is excited to partner with Mamelodi Sundowns in supplying their official kit,’ said Brett Bellinger, PUMA South Africa’s Marketing Director.

‘It’s been 23 years since we’ve worked together and PUMA hope to take them all the way, like we did when Sundowns won the League title back in ’93.’

Mamelodi Sundowns will start the PSL season wearing the new PUMA kit.
