OGC Nice signs major contract with Kappa for its brand development and merchandising activity

OGC Nice and Kappa can today announce that they have signed an ambitious long-term partnership.

Investing in its roots in order to shine around the world – this is the strategy that has today driven OGC Nice to officially announce its partnership with Kappa. As a true leader in the lifestyle industry, the Italian brand, which is symbolised by its iconic ‘Omini’ logo, will put its talent and its inspiration to use for the club from the 2025–2026 season onwards.

This collaboration is rooted in a shared culture that is built around three solid pillars: authenticity, sporting heritage and Mediterranean elegance. These pillars will be expressed through a refined aesthetic, fusing Le Gym’s identity with the gentle way of life of the region that it proudly represents at the highest level.

Through this partnership, OGC Nice will accelerate the rollout of its new brand platform, capitalising on the French Riviera with the aim of further becoming one of its most attractive ambassadors with every passing day.

“We’re very happy to be signing this partnership with Kappa, which will be a formidable driver of growth for our merchandising activity. Our aim is to give the club’s image a new, authentic and audacious lease of life, and we will achieve this through the quality of our merchandise, which is designed not only to satisfy our most loyal supporters but also to attract the millions of visitors that roam the Côte d’Azur every year. Our partnership with Kappa will also translate into an ambitious launch strategy for our kits, our lifestyle capsule collections and other exclusive and unexpected creations in the months and years ahead. We are convinced that this collaboration will excite the entire Rouge et Noir community.”

Rémi Garnier, Kappa France's Country Manager
“For Kappa, this partnership with OGC Nice constitutes a formidable chance to strengthen our foothold in French football whilst also affirming our expertise and creativity. Nice is the perfect embodiment of the values that we represent: sporting excellence, innovation and Italian-style elegance.
“The richness of the Côte d’Azur, which combines Mediterranean tradition with modernity, provides our creative teams with an ideal platform on which to express themselves. We will draw upon this unique environment in order to develop collections that reflect both the club’s strong identity and the Niçois way of life.
“This collaboration fits perfectly into our development strategy in France and in Europe. OGC Nice, with its history, its passion and its international standing, is the ideal partner to accompany us in writing the next chapter of our adventure in French football. Together, we will inspire the Rouge et Noir community with creations that will leave a lasting impression.”
