Herzogenaurach, Germany, May 26, 2020 - Sports company #puma has entered into a long-term #partnership with the Football Association of Iceland (KSI) to become the official technical #sponsor for the men’s, women’s and youth teams.
“I am extremely impressed with what Iceland has achieved,” said Björn Gulden, CEO of #puma. “Despite a small population, they have great talent, the players a fantastic attitude and they always have a great team spirit. We really look forward to working with them.”
With a population of just 330,000, Iceland qualified for the UEFA EURO 2016 FinalsÔ and is the smallest national team to qualify for the men’s FIFA World CupÔ in 2018. The women’s team have also achieved success by qualifying for three UEFA Women’s European ChampionshipsÔ in a row, 2009, 2013 and 2017. Following their rise in the world rankings, Iceland has been embraced around the world, capturing the imagination of football fans with inspirational performances on the pitch and strong support off the pitch.
Fans of the Icelandic team have produced an exhilarating stadium atmosphere with the now iconic ‘Thunderclap’. This spectacle has gained widespread popularity and attention after reverberating all over the world. Following matches, the players join the fans to continue this tradition in a post- match ritual, showcasing the remarkable bond the team have with their fans.
