OGC Nice and Italian sportswear brand Kappa have today officially announced an "ambitious long-term partnership," which will see Kappa become the club's new technical kit supplier starting from the 2025-26 season.
OFFICIAL: OGC Nice Announce Kappa Kit Deal From 2025-26 Season
This new agreement marks the end of OGC Nice's partnership with Le Coq Sportif, which began in 2023 and concludes after just two seasons. This will be the first time Kappa has produced kits for OGC Nice.
The partnership is built on a shared strategy of "building on its roots to shine for the world to see," with Kappa, known for its iconic Omini logo, aiming to lend its "talent and inspiration" to the Nice institution. Both parties emphasize a shared culture centered around authenticity, sporting heritage, and Mediterranean elegance.
OGC Nice sees this partnership as a key driver for accelerating its new brand platform, leveraging the appeal of the French Riviera.
Cynthia Marcou, Director of Partnerships, Merchandising & Digital at OGC Nice, stated:
"We are delighted to sign this partnership with Kappa, which will be a tremendous growth driver for our merchandising business. Our goal is to breathe new life into the club's image, both authentic and bold... Our partnership with Kappa will also translate into an ambitious jersey launch strategy, lifestyle capsule collections, and exclusive and unexpected creations for the months and years to come."
Rémi Garnier, Country Manager Kappa France, added:
“This partnership with OGC Nice represents a fantastic opportunity for Kappa to strengthen our roots in French football while asserting our expertise and creativity. Nice perfectly embodies the values we defend: sporting excellence, innovation, and Italian elegance... Together, we will excite the red and black community with designs that will make a lasting impression.”
Designer @Saintetixx had previously created a Kappa concept for Nice, showcasing how the Omini logo looks with the Nice crest.
