Six-a-side football competition Baller League has signed a two-year partnership with Nike.
The deal will see Nike become the official apparel and equipment provider for the league across the UK, Germany and the USA. The sports brand will design and supply custom-made kits for every team in close collaboration with the league and its managers.
As part of the agreement, referees and staff will be provided with official Nike gameday wear, while players will receive lifestyle products and apparel for team activities. Nike will also supply the official match balls for the UK league from its second season.
The partnership expands on Nike’s existing collaboration with Baller League Germany, where the brand supplied kits for the Final Four event in Berlin.
Felix Starck, CEO of Baller League, said, “To have Nike on board as our official partner is not just a milestone, it’s a statement. Nike has always been synonymous with creative, dynamic football, supporting the game at every level, and this partnership sets a new benchmark for small-sided football. Together with Nike, we want to create moments that move football culture forward while giving our players the elite-level gear they need to perform at their best.”
