Castore signs multi-year deal as kit supplier to Athletic Bilbao

Premium sportswear brand Castore has added another top tier football team to its roster of partners, this time signing with La Liga side Athletic Club, commonly known as Athletic Bilbao, for the 2023/24 season onwards.

Castore will design and manufacture high-performing playing and training kits, which will be worn by the first team, women’s team and youth academy sides.

Athletic Bilbao is currently enjoying a successful season in the Spanish topflight, with the Basque side sitting in the top half of La Liga and challenging for a place in Europe.

Tom Beahon, Co-Founder at Castore, said: “We are incredibly proud to announce our partnership with Athletic Club today. The club is full of heritage and tradition, but also share Castore’s desire for innovation which will be the key to our success as partners.

“Together we look forward to getting fans excited about our bespoke product and retail offering which will cement Castore’s position in the Spanish and Basque football market.”

Jon Uriarte, President at Athletic Club, added: “Castore is a leading sportswear manufacturer that already works with some of the most important entities in the world. It is another example of the club’s intention to be at the forefront of innovation and high performance.”

Castore already has deals to supply kit to fellow La Liga team Sevilla, as well as  English Premiership sides Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Scottish Premiership team Rangers FC.

Earlier this month Castore added boxing champion Joe Joyce to its extensive sports ambassador list and launched a new golf apparel collection with professional golfer Gavin Green ahead of the 2023 Masters.
