Puma extends partnership with Czech Federation

The Czech Football Federation and sports equipment supplier Puma announced an extension of an agreement that was first initiated in 1996.
 
The extension provides that Puma will remain the official supplier of all on-field, sideline, training and representation apparel and equipment to all Czech Football Association national teams, including the Men's 'A', 'U21/Olympic' and 'Youth' national teams.
 
Also included are women's national teams beyond the 2008 UEFA European Championship in Austria/Switzerland and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
 
"The long term partnership with the Czech National Team has been instrumental in the continued positive development of the PUMA brand in Czech Republic", said Jochen Zeitz, Puma CEO & Chairman. "Both parties have a strong heritage in the world of football but, more importantly, continue to perform successfully today."
 
"(It is) to the benefit of both parties," said Vlastimil Kostal, Vice Chairman of the Czech Football Federation. "PUMA is a successful partner equipping 12 teams at the upcoming World Cup and we are very pleased to be one of these teams. We are confident that our results in Germany will emphasize our position as a strong partner. The extension of the existing agreement is the logical consequence of the successful cooperation to date."
 
The Czech National Team endorses PUMA's statement product concept � the v1.06 which weighs as little as 100g. The v1.06 shirt utilizes the Kold Fusion technology, providing a stitch-less alternative to traditional cut and sewn shirts by welding together the fabric to form an incredible strong, light and durable molecular bond.
