A co-branding collaboration between DECATHLON and Canterbury

DECATHLON and Canterbury have signed a co-branding agreement to run until the end of the next World Cup, to be held in Australia in 2027. 

Established and recognised in the rugby world, the New Zealand brand has been regularly equipping the best teams in the world since the 1990s. Canterbury products are recognised by players for their technical qualities, particularly in textiles. A credible sports brand, the 3-Kiwi brand also brings its own touch to outfield clothing. A multi-specialist sports brand and the world’s largest sporting goods retailer, DECATHLON also establishes itself as a designer of technical products for the practice of rugby. Capable of managing all stages of design, the French-born brand sets itself the objective of offering the most appropriate and efficient offer. Its desire is to move people through the wonders of sport, whether they start their sporting journey or are competing athletes.

The collaboration with Canterbury is a real opportunity for DECATHLON’s customers and users as it combines the notoriety & legitimacy of Canterbury with the technicality & accessibility of DECATHLON.
