We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Macron for their long-standing and trusting cooperation.”
Ewan Scott, Managing Director of Umbro UK, expressed his enthusiasm: "We are proud to welcome Arminia Bielefeld to the Umbro family. The club's deep-rooted tradition, passionate fan base, and tireless fighting spirit – once again demonstrated by its recent promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga and strong performance in the DFB Cup – make Arminia a perfect partner for our brand. Together, we want to boldly shape the future – on and off the pitch."
