Leaked: Kappa Wants to Sign Big European Club
- Kappa and OGC Nice Relationship: While initially reported as strained, both Kappa and OGC Nice deny any tensions and insist their relationship is in excellent shape.
- OGC Nice's Kit Revenue: OGC Nice had record kit supplier revenue in the first half of the season, with jersey sales up 25% year-on-year.
- Kappa's Ambition: Kappa is reportedly eager to sign a larger European club, either in France or elsewhere.
Update - Feb 11, 2026: Following up on our report, Kappa and OGC Nice contacted us to deny any tensions, insisting the relationship between the two parties would be "in excellent shape." The brand would also not have been interested in making Saint-Etienne's kit.
The club would have closed the first half of the season with the highest kit supplier revenue in their history. Jersey sales would be up 25% year-on-year; however, the previous season was with Le Coq Sportif, which declared bankruptcy and can therefore not fully be counted.
Footy Headlines trusts both OGC Nice and Kappa, but also believes that at least some of the relationship problems existed, but that everything is on track again (for the time being).
Insiders described the relationship between OGC Nice and Kappa as "complicated", with Kappa losing money on the deal.
Hunting for a Giant
As per our source, Kappa is now reportedly desperate to sign a "bigger club", either in France or elsewhere in Europe.
