The Football League has announced that sportswear brand Macron is to become the Official Kit Supplier of The Football League in a brand new two-year deal beginning next season.
As The League's Official Kit Supplier, Macron will support the outstanding contribution made by Football League clubs to their local communities by providing kit to the 1400 community coaches working on their behalf.
In announcing the new agreement, League Chairman Lord Mawhinney said: "This support from a highly regarded brand like Macron will provide a real boost to our clubs efforts to enrich the towns and cities they represent.
"I am delighted to welcome Macron to working with The Football League. I am sure this partnership will bring genuine benefit to both parties."
Andrea Palilla UK Sales Manager for Macron said: "It is a great privilege to work with The Football League and we are particularly excited at the opportunity to work with clubs at grass roots level. As current suppliers of Leeds United and Sheffield United, Macron see this partnership as a natural progression in terms of our commitment to English football at all levels.
"I would extend my thanks to Michael Vincent at Chromasport & Trophies, Peterborough for facilitating Macron's partnership with The Football League."
The new agreement will also see Macron sponsor The League's Golden Glove Awards, which are presented every season to the goalkeeper in each division with the highest number of clean sheets.
Macron will also support The Football League Community Cup and Football League events at Wembley, through the provision of kit to finalist schools and ball-boys.
