Durban City FC Secures Historic Partnership with Umbro
Durban City FC have unveiled a major new partnership with iconic sportswear brand Umbro following the club's remarkable 2025/26 campaign. The KwaZulu-Natal outfit announced a three-season agreement that will see Umbro become the club's official technical partner, supplying match kits, training gear, travel apparel, and a range of supporter merchandise.
What's in the Deal?
The deal comes on the back of a historic 2025/26 campaign for Durban City FC. In their maiden Betway Premiership season, the club secured a Top 8 finish before lifting the Nedbank Cup, becoming the first team from KwaZulu-Natal in 17 years to win the prestigious competition. Their cup success also earned qualification for the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup, where they will represent South Africa on the continental stage.
Why it Matters for Durban City FC
Club CEO Younus Kadodia described the agreement as a natural fit, highlighting Umbro's rich football heritage and reputation within the global game. "We are delighted to welcome Umbro as our official technical partner," said Kadodia, adding that the partnership will help strengthen the club's ambitions while providing players and supporters with high-quality products.
Umbro, meanwhile, believes Durban City's rapid progress mirrors the brand's own values, with the partnership set to further strengthen its growing footprint in African football.
What Comes Next?
As Durban City FC prepares for the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup, the partnership with Umbro will undoubtedly play a significant role in their success. With the club's ambitions on the rise, the partnership with Umbro will provide the necessary support to help them achieve their goals.
