Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL) has announced a new multi-year partnership with global sports company PUMA.

The multi-year agreement will see PUMA become the official kit partner of PGMOL and supply high-performance apparel to match officials in both the men’s and women’s professional game pathways.

Officials operating in the Premier League, EFL, National League and WSL Football competitions will all don the new match and training kit from the start of the 2025/26 season.

With a strong presence in football, PUMA is renowned for its numerous kit partnerships with both top clubs and national teams.

“This multi-year agreement with PUMA will provide our officials with high-performance sports apparel for many years, recognising the pride and professionalism they display every time they step onto the pitch at a progressive time for refereeing.

“Officials are an essential part of the game – without them, we have no competition. This new era of refereeing is all about delivering excellence now and inspiring the next generation for the future, and we’re excited to bring that to life with PUMA.”

Lucynda Davies, Managing Director, PUMA UK & Ireland, added: “We’re incredibly proud to partner with PGMOL and support the officials who play such a vital role in the game.

“At PUMA, we believe in pushing sport forward, and this partnership allows us to bring our expertise in performance innovation to officials across all levels of the professional game.
