Press Release - Copenhagen 24 October 2008


Kappa and FCK have signed 

the largest contract ever

in the Nordic countries

F.C. Copenhagen and Italian Kappa have extended their cooperation for another three seasons to 30 June 2012. At that time, F.C. Copenhagen has played in Kappa for eight years.

The agreement may bring F.C. Copenhagen more than 40 million dollars over the three years, and both parties are convinced that this is the largest contract ever in Scandinavia between a supplier of clothes and a professional football team.

In addition to the supplies of clothes for the club's players, coaches and managers FC Copenhagen will receive a fixed annual amount of millions, a royalty for each sold FCK-shirt and an annual bonus, which depends on the club's sporting achievements, both nationally and internationally.

-We had several attractive offers in hand. The F.C. Copenhagen's success in recent years has certainly not gone unnoticed in Europe, but we chose to continue with Kappa, as we were presented with a very attractive offer. Of course it has also played in that we have been pleased with the cooperation so far, says chairman of F.C. Copenhagen, Flemming Østergaard.

The largest football club in the Nordic countries
Primetime Nordic A/S, which holds the Nordic licensee of Kappa, and the owners of the Kappa brand, Basic network Spa, look forward to a continued cooperation with F.C. Copenhagen:

-We look forward to presenting the Kombat 2009-garment for F.C. Copenhagen and the club's many fans next season. It is the latest development of Kombat 2000. It was originally designed for the Italian national team and revolutionized the market of soccer jerseys with its amazing performance in stretch, design and quality.

Vålerenga Fotball signs historical contract with Kappa

Kappa – behind the legends…

Kappa has for many years been driving the best of the best. Italian Juventus was the first football team for Kappa to sponsor. Up through the 1980s then followed a large number of prominent European football clubs: AC Milan, A.C. Barcelona, A.S Roma, Ajax A.J. with more. And Kappa did not stop by football. Kappa was sponsor of the famous U.S. national track and field team - and thus for legends such as Carl Lewis, Florence Griffith Joyner and Janice - in Los Angeles (1984) and Seoul (1988).

Today…

Kappa is now one of the most innovative brands of sportswear - clothes, where technology and performance, design and aesthetics go up in a higher unit. The well-known omini-logo is now seen at the top level all over the world. National federations such as the Federation of Wales, the Football Association of Slovenia and The Jamaican Football Federation wear Kappa. At the 08 Olympics in Beijing Kappa sponsors the Serbian and Argentine Olympic team among others. In Europe Kappa delivers playing jerseys to clubs as Italian AC Rome, French FC Metz, Dutch Feyenoord, German Werder Bremen and Kaiserslautern, the French Le Mans, Serbian Partizan Belgrade, Spanish Real Betis, Danish FC Copenhagen and the Norwegian Brann with more.

Kappa is pleased to welcome Vålerenga Fotball to this prestigious list.

Vålerenga Fotball
