Macron<\/a><\/strong> further strengthens its presence in the international sports landscape through a long-term agreement with Grupo Baskonia-Alav\u00e9s<\/strong>, one of Spain\u2019s leading multi-sport organizations. Under the partnership, the Italian brand will become the new Technical Sponsor of Deportivo Alav\u00e9s<\/strong> and Saski Baskonia<\/strong>, two benchmark clubs in professional football and basketball respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement includes the supply of match kits, high-performance sportswear and dedicated collections for the men\u2019s first teams, women\u2019s teams and youth academies of both clubs. Macron <\/strong>will support Deportivo Alav\u00e9s<\/strong> and Saski Baskonia<\/strong> throughout their domestic and international competitions in the coming seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership brings together organizations that share core values such as identity, belonging and a strong connection<\/strong> to their local communities, alongside a commitment to sporting excellence and innovation. Through bespoke collections, Macron will celebrate the heritage and sporting culture<\/strong> of both clubs, combining performance, design research and meticulous attention to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1921 and based in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Deportivo Alav\u00e9s<\/strong> is one of the historic clubs of Spanish football. Throughout its history, the club has been recognized for its competitiveness, character and strong regional identity, earning a special place in European football through achievements that have enhanced its reputation well beyond Spain\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1952, Saski Baskonia<\/strong> is today one of the most prestigious and recognizable clubs in European basketball. Consistently competing at the highest level of the Liga Endesa (ACB) and a regular contender in Europe\u2019s premier competitions, the Basque club is widely respected for the strength of its sporting project and its ability to develop and nurture talent from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history, identity and sporting culture of the Basque Country will be reflected in the collections developed by Macron for both clubs, through match kits and apparel lines distinguished by contemporary design, technical innovation and the highest standards of quality. As with all Macron partner clubs, the new kits will be produced using Eco Fabric<\/a><\/strong>, a material made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic<\/strong>, reaffirming Macron\u2019s commitment to increasingly sustainable production processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted to announce this dual partnership with two clubs rich in history, identity and values,\u201d<\/em> said Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron.<\/strong> \u201cEmbarking on this journey alongside Deportivo Alav\u00e9s and Saski Baskonia is a source of great motivation for us. The identity and culture of the Basque Country will provide key inspiration in the development of collections that combine technical excellence, design innovation and a strong sense of belonging. This agreement further strengthens Macron\u2019s presence in Spanish sport and confirms the strategic importance of this market within our international growth journey.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
