Vahid Jafari - Uhlsport

 

PLDC - Tehran, FIFA has announced that any brand can be a kit-provider for teams in the World Cup. So Team Melli keeps its contract with Uhlsport.


There had been rumours that only certain brands like Adidas, Nike, and Puma can be kit-prodivers for teams in the World Cup, but FIFA has cleared things up and announced that this is not the case.

The Iranian Football Federation's Chief Marketing Officer, Abbas Torabian said. "We asked FIFA about this matter, and they told us that there are no limitations regarding which brand we can use."

Regarding Team Melli's contract with Uhlsport for the World Cup, he said, "We do have a contract with this brand for the World Cup. Kappa and Puma have offered us sponsorship deals for the World Cup, but it is only morally right to stick with Uhlsport since this brand has stuck with us through the tough times (prior to qualifying)."
