The history of Hungarian football will take on a new look in the coming seasons Macron. On the shirts of the Ferencváros, the most successful club in Hungary with the largest fan base, will stand out in the coming seasons as the Macron the Hero. A long-term partnership has been formalised between the Italian brand and the Aquile Verdi of Budapest, covering not only the football teams but also the more than 20 other sporting disciplines – equally successful and decorated – that form part of the wider sports club. These teams will be provided with match kits, technical clothing and a range of merchandise characterised by the style, design, technical expertise and quality that make the Italian company a leading brand in the teamwear sector.

The Ferencváros It was founded in May 1899 in the district of the same name in Budapest by Ferenc Springer and a group of bricklayers, which is why the official nickname of Ferencvárosi Torna Club is Fradi, “bricklayers” in Italian. Over its 125-year history, it has won 35 domestic titles, 24 Hungarian Cups and 6 Hungarian Super Cups, but the club’s prestige extends beyond national borders, as its trophy cabinet also includes 1 Fairs Cup, 2 Mitropa Cups, 1 Challenge Cup and 1 Intertoto Cup. On the international stage, Ferencváros is the only club to have won major European trophies and was the first Hungarian team to reach the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

Macron and Ferencváros have already begun working together to develop what will be the new collection, characterised by the quality, technical expertise and design typical of the Italian brand’s technical garments, as well as an attention to detail and the ability to make the club’s shirts unique by embellishing them with graphics inspired by history, tradition and symbols, expressing the identity and sense of belonging of players and supporters to the club’s colours.

“The history of Hungarian football is becoming part of the Macron family, and thanks to this long-term partnership, we are delighted to embark on this journey. – he declared Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron – You only have to look at the trophy cabinet at the Ferencváros, to get a feel for this club’s winning spirit; all of this provides great inspiration for creating and developing match kits that fully express the identity of the Green Eagles and that can be worn with great pride by both the players and their incredibly passionate supporters”.

“As the ancient philosopher Seneca rightly observed, it is not the length of life that matters, but its quality. The partnership with Macron is important for Ferencvárosi Torna Club because it once again brings the club together with a partner whose brand guarantees high quality. I am confident that, thanks to our partnership with Macron, we will achieve great success both nationally and internationally. We will do so in a stunning kit, which I believe is the finest Fradi shirt in recent times. We are proud of our achievements. This is the best way to earn trust and support. Naturally, our aim remains to lead the club to the greatest possible success. We are honoured that a world-renowned sports brand has chosen to support Ferencváros in such a significant way. From now on, everything at Fradi is Macron!” he said Gábor Kubatov, Chairman of Ferencváros Torna Club.
