Portugal, the 2016 European Champions and 2018/19 Nations League
Winners, are known for their captivating style of play, which has
earned them many fans all over the world and the largest number of
followers on social media of any national football federation
worldwide.
“Signing a top-tier national team was one of our priorities in
football and I am very excited to welcome a team as popular as
Portugal to the PUMA Family,” said Arne Freundt, PUMA CEO. “Given
the large number of fans all over the world and the great potential
of the next generation of this squad, we are looking forward to the
upcoming big tournaments such as the 2026 World Cup.”
For PUMA, the deal offers the opportunity to continue writing
Portuguese football history. In the 1960s, PUMA became the partner
of legendary player Eusébio, known as “O Rei” (“The King”), for
whom it created the iconic PUMA KING football boot. Eusébio was the
top scorer of the 1966 World Cup when he led his team to a third
place in the tournament.
“We were attracted to PUMA because of the way in which they
engage with the fans and tell the unique story of every team they
work with” said Fernando Gomes, President of the FPF. “We look
forward to creating an exciting range of products with them which
will resonate with our large fan base all over the world.”
PUMA will unveil the new products and its creative direction for
the partnership in early 2025.
