Unexpected renewal: ASSE and the Verts lock in Kapriol partnership

Amid a busy transfer window in France, ASSE – the Verts – have announced an unexpected signing: a renewed partnership with Italian protective‑equipment brand Kapriol, now confirmed for the 2026‑2027 season, marking the third consecutive year of collaboration, as the club continues to shape its squad ahead of the new Ligue 2 campaign.

The mercato continues to animate L’ASSE news, and Les Verts are still working on their roster before the start of the Ligue 2 season, with several movements still possible in the coming weeks.

This is not a player recruitment; instead, the club has formalised the extension of its partnership with Kapriol, which will remain the official partner of the Verts for the 2026‑2027 exercise, the third year in a row.

Kapriol, a specialist in personal protective equipment, will keep a prominent presence on the players' shorts and will also be visible around Stade Geoffroy‑Guichard and the Centre sportif Robert‑Herbin, reinforcing a collaboration that goes far beyond simple advertising.

Arnaud Jaouen, the deputy general director of the Club, said: « Comme l’ASSE, Kapriol est une marque historique avec une ambition tournée vers l’avenir. Ses performances bâties, génération après génération, sur l’exigence de qualité et l’innovation lui offrent un rayonnement mondial très inspirant. »

Franco Morganti, the CEO of Kapriol, added: « Au-delà d’un simple sponsoring, nous partageons avec ce club historique des valeurs fondamentales de travail, de détermination et d’esprit d’équipe. Cette collaboration renforcée continue d’asseoir notre visibilité et notre notoriété sur le marché français, tout en illustrant la synergie naturelle entre l’exigence professionnelle et la passion du football de haut niveau. »

Founded in 1927, Kapriol is now run by the fourth generation of its founding family and operates in more than 70 countries. The extension confirms the brand’s strategy to strengthen its presence on the French market, an important step for its development in France, while supporters will now await the next signings on the field.
