Oscar Mayo, executive director of LaLiga, said: “We share long-term goals with Puma as well as a way of understanding the sports industry that allows us to find very beneficial synergies, both for us and for all LaLiga fans.”

Javier Ortega, Puma’s general manager for Europe, added: “We are sure that this association will allow us to continue innovating in many areas, from sports technology and research to product design. We look forward to continuing building and exploring new and exciting opportunities in the world of national and international football together.”

A similar-length deal as the last tie-up would see Puma continue as a major LaLiga partner through 2028-29.

In terms of other ball supply partnerships, in mid-October, Puma sealed a similar tie-up with the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
