The German brand, which will be a technical partner and sponsor of Braga, adds the Portuguese club to its wide range of teams that it currently covers, including Manchester City, AC Milan, and Borussia Dortmund.
António Salvador, president of Braga, underlined the important step taken by the club. "Puma recognized that this is a differentiated project and that this is a historic and perhaps unique moment. I appreciated the way in which Puma approached us, understanding that Sp. Braga is on a growth trajectory, not only in football, but in all its sporting and social dimension".
And he added: "We are going to inaugurate the entire sporting city of Sp. Braga soon. Puma understood the value of associating and committing itself to this new cycle in the history of our club. We have no doubt that the store that we are going to open will a great boost to the new joint project, but above all I felt at Puma the enthusiasm of serving not only our main men's team, but the entire universe of thousands of young athletes, boys and girls, that we have at the club".
This partnership, it should be noted, will extend to the marketing and brand engagement of the people of Braga.
Update: Braga has started an 80% discount on all Hummel items, indirectly confirming the switch to another supplier, in this case, Puma.

Valid From 23-24 Season: Puma Deal Financially Better Than Hummel for Braga
According to reports from Portugal, Braga has reached an agreement with Puma to sign a deal once their current agreement with Hummel expires in June 2023.
The new agreement will be financially better for the Portuguese side in a campaign where the club will play in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since the 2012/13 season.
The new deal is undoubtedly an upgrade from their previous contract which started 4 years ago.
Braga & Hummel Kit History
Signing with Braga is also a positive move for Puma to improve their market share in the Portuguese league and Federation.
For this season, the German sportswear only have two teams, Rio Ave and Marítimo under contract.

The Castore FC Utrecht 26-27 third jersey delivers a clean look centered around a white base. Vibrant royal blue and bright orange accents bring life to the design, detailing the v-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels. A monochrome orange rendition of the club crest sits on the chest alongside the Castore logo, with sponsor lettering finished in bold blue.
White shorts and white socks with matching blue and orange trim complete the kit. The new third uniform is scheduled to make its on-pitch debut on September 13 in Utrecht's Eredivisie away fixture against Excelsior, and is now available through the club's official online store.

Adidas Messi Special-Edition Argentina Kit Leaked - 2 New Images
We have new images of the special-edition Adidas Lionel Messi Argentina kit, showing the design produced with authentic Climacool+ specifications. However, the jersey in the pictures is a counterfeit. Fakers have moved quickly to manufacture physical shirts that replicate Adidas' latest top-tier player-issue template based on earlier replica/fan leaks of the signature design. Following Messi's international retirement after the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen what Adidas will ultimately do with the official rollout of the special-edition Messi kit and accompanying collection, and if it will be available as authentic and worn in a match.
