Macron is further strengthening its presence in European football through a new partnership with NK Varaždin. The Italian brand, international leader in sportswear and specialist in teamwear, and the Croatian club have signed a multi-year agreement covering the supply of match kits, technical apparel and official equipment for the First Team, Academy and coaching staff, as well as the development of a dedicated merchandising range for supporters.
Based in the city of the same name in northern Croatia, one of the country’s most important historical and cultural centres, NK Varaždin is one of the most dynamic and ambitious clubs in Croatian football. Founded in 2012 and carrying forward a footballing tradition deeply rooted in the local area, the club has built a steady path of growth over the years, establishing itself as a consistent presence in the top tier of Croatian football.
A strong focus on youth development, careful and sustainable management, and close ties with the local community have enabled NK Varaždin to emerge as one of the most exciting clubs in the Croatian football landscape. The team plays its home matches at Stadion Varteks, a historic venue that has long been a landmark for both the city and the club’s supporters.
The partnership will enable Macron to develop collections in which the history, symbols and identity of NK Varaždin are expressed through contemporary design, technical innovation and meticulous attention to detail. Match kits and apparel ranges will be created to celebrate the strong sense of belonging that unites the club, the city and its fans.
As with all of Macron’s partner clubs, the new collections will be produced using Eco Fabric, materials made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, reaffirming the Italian brand’s commitment to increasingly sustainable production.
“NK Varaždin is a dynamic and steadily growing club, combining sporting ambition, youth development and a strong connection with its local community,” said Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron. “We are pleased to begin this journey alongside a club that shares values we strongly identify with. Its history and identity will provide an important source of inspiration as we develop collections that bring together performance, innovation and a genuine sense of belonging.”
“Joining the Macron family marks an important milestone in NK Varaždin’s journey. Partnering with one of Europe’s leading sportswear manufacturers – a brand trusted by top clubs across the continent – reflects the progress we have made in recent seasons, from a third-place finish to consecutive UEFA Conference League qualifications, and the ambitions that continue to drive us”, stated Toni Dalić, CEO and Board Member of NK Varaždin. “This partnership will equip our first team, academy and coaching staff with premium technical apparel, while offering our supporters new collections that express the identity, tradition and sense of belonging that unite our club, our city and our fans. We share Macron’s commitment to performance, innovation and sustainability, and we are proud to begin this new chapter together.”
