We are very pleased to announce that 4F will continue its cooperation with the FKS Stal Mielecclub . As a technical partner, the brand will support the Podkarpacki team for the next three competition seasons: from 2024/2025 to 2026/2027.
– We are very pleased that the contract with the 4F brand, concluded on 1 July 2022, will continue. PGE FKS Stal Mielec is the only team from the Podkarpacie region to face the best teams in Poland on the PKO BP Ekstraklasa pitches. In order to fight for the highest goals, you need to have class players, but also top-quality equipment, and that is what the 4F brand guarantees us. The development of children and young people in our Academy is of great importance to me as the President of the Board. I am glad that thanks to our cooperation, the girls and boys have received sets of 4F brand match and training outfits, without their guardians incurring any related costs. I am sure that the contract we signed will continue to bring mutual benefits,” said Jacek Klimek, President of the Management Board of FKS Stal Mielec S.A.
– Establishing cooperation between Stal Mielec and the well-known clothing brand 4F two years ago proved to be a success and brought image benefits for both sides. Extension of the contract for another three years is the best proof of that. Today, the best Polish sports brand 4F is unambiguously associated with Stal, optimally fitting into the philosophy and strategy of the club’s development. I am glad that I could help in this – said MEP and friend of Stala, Tomasz Poręba.
– Cooperation with FKS Stala Mielec is one of the first 4F teamwear contracts in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa football league. We have observed with appreciation the consistent sporting development of the club in recent seasons. We are all the more pleased that at the halfway point of our second season together, we can announce the extension of the contract for another few years – until the end of June 2027. We will continue to support the players in their fight for the highest goals – e.g. through a dedicated collection of match apparel, designed and produced entirely in Poland, or joint marketing activations, such as sports events in 4F shops,’ emphasises OTCF S.A.
