Our long-standing and successful partnership with Nike ends in the summer. From the 2024/25 season, the Violets will be equipped by Macron for several years. The Italian sportswear manufacturer also equips Crystal Palace FC, Real Sociedad, Bologna FC 1909, FC Basel 1893, PAOK Thessaloniki and Red Star Belgrade, among others. Our members were able to take a first look at a small section of the new home jersey at the members' party in the Generali-Arena. Macron will equip all Austria Wien teams with jerseys and training underwear, and there are also plans for merchandising. Stay Tuned!
Macron has managed to attract exciting clubs for the brand in recent years and is now represented in Europe's top leagues. Harald Zagiczek, CEO of Austria Wien mentions:
“They have stood out from the beginning of the process with their ability to create unique designs. The aim of the partnership is to make a bold appearance while conveying the history and values of Austria Wien in the joint products. The first few months together were characterized by mutual appreciation and inspiration.“
Harald Zagiczek highlights: “The fact that Macron was personally present at the members' party shows how much they already identify with Austria Wien - this creates an excitement for what is to come in the next few years - to a long-term and successful partnership.”
Gianluca Pavanello, Macron’s CEO: “Having Austria Wien among the clubs that wear the Macron Hero is our entry into the historic world of Austrian football. This is a history we look forward to paying homage to in a shared project based on exclusive technology and style. Our objective in this new collaboration is to convey the colours, symbols and traditions of the club and the passion felt by its supporters. We shall be expressing this heritage of emotions and belonging through the players’ kits on the pitch and the fans’ shirts on the terraces.”
