From the upcoming season, the Macron Hero will appear on the match kits of <em>GieKSa<\/em> athletes. The agreement covers all sporting sections of the club and will run until 2028, offering players access to high-performance matchwear, training apparel, and customised merchandise lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1964, GKS Katowice is a symbol of sporting tradition and regional pride. The club is known for its loyal and vibrant fanbase and its presence across multiple disciplines including football, ice hockey, and volleyball. With a history rooted in the heart of Silesia, GieKSa\u2019s values of determination, identity, and unity are reflected in every performance on the field and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partnership between Macron and GKS Katowice is based on a <strong>shared vision of innovation and identity<\/strong>. As part of the agreement, <strong>the club\u2019s kits will be custom-designed<\/strong> to reflect the unique heritage of Katowice and the spirit of its supporters. The first collection will be unveiled in July, ahead of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gianluca Pavanello<\/strong><strong>, CEO of Macron<\/strong>, commented: <em>&#8220;We are proud to welcome GKS Katowice into the Macron family. This partnership goes beyond providing technical apparel \u2014 it\u2019s about honouring a club with deep roots in Polish sport and offering products that embody its history, pride and ambition. With customised design and premium quality, our goal is to support GieKSa athletes in performing at their best while strengthening their connection with the fans and their community.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>The signing of the contract with Macron marks another step forward in the club\u2019s professionalisation,<\/em>\u201d said <strong>S\u0142awomir Witek<\/strong><strong>, President of GKS Katowice<\/strong>. \u201c<em>Among many offers, we chose to partner with a brand that not only guarantees record levels of support, but also the quality and technical excellence our athletes deserve.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The start of this new journey also coincides with the opening of the new <strong>Macron Sports Hub<\/strong> in Katowice. The store, located at Arena Katowice, will officially open tomorrow Friday, 13 June. This space has been conceived not only as a retail destination but as a meeting point for professionals, sports lovers and GKS fans across the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GKS Katowice is the latest team to join the Macron family: from the upcoming season, the Macron Hero will appear on the match kits of
