The club celebrated historic achievements back then such as the cup final won on May 3rd, 2015. Robey returns just in time for the club's 50th anniversary during the 2021-22 season.
Groningen Robey Kit Deal
No financial details of the new Groningen Robey kit deal were disclosed, but it is likely that is a multi-year contract worth a seven-figure sum for the full contract length. Robey will supply competition and training clothing for both the first team and all youth teams of the club. Additionally, there will be a casual FC Groningen clothing collection.
Fehrman: “It is great that Robey sees opportunities to grow with FC Groningen. We are going to see FC Groningen and Robey much more in the street scene in a creative way, through beautiful elaborations of sporty clothing lines, but also through Robey's retail partners. During our conversations it became clear that Robey will contribute to the realization of our growth ambitions, as a result of which we have entered into this wonderful partnership with great confidence. ”
“With Robey, we have been able to bind us to a sportswear partner who first and foremost guarantees high-quality clothing for our initial selection and training,” says Bastiaan Fehrman, manager partnerships of FC Groningen. “In addition, we are very pleased with Robey's commitment to other projects within our club, which are related to our policy plan 'Together to the Grote Markt'. With this, Robey supports our ambitions, for example on a social level. ”
