The 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 competitions will all don the new match and training kit from the start of the 2025/26 season.
The contemporary design is fresh and dynamic, featuring bold colourways, and reflects the evolving landscape of the modern game.
With a forward-thinking creative approach that recognises the important role of match officials, the new kit subtly incorporates a design that emphasises sport is in their DNA, underpinned by their integrity, judgement and courage.
The new match and training kit marks a fresh chapter for match officials. The announcement follows PUMA’s new partnership with the Premier League, including the introduction of the new official match ball.
Howard Webb, PGMOL Chief Refereeing Officer, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with PUMA, a world-leading company who shares our passion for the game.
"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 on to 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, said: “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.
"The new kits are designed to reflect the professionalism, confidence and authority of modern match officials, and we’re excited to see them take to the pitch from the 2025/26 season.”
