Durban City announce new sponsor

Posted on July 15, 2026

Durban City FC have officially unveiled Umbro as the club’s new technical partner on a three-season deal ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

The agreement will see Umbro supply official match kits for the men’s and women’s teams, as well as training wear, travel apparel and supporter merchandise. The partnership will cover all domestic competitions and the CAF Confederation Cup.

DURBAN CITY FC PARTNER UP WITH UMBRO

The announcement follows a memorable 2025/26 season for Durban City. The KwaZulu-Natal club finished inside the Betway Premiership top eight and lifted the 2026 Nedbank Cup, becoming the first team from the province in 17 years to win the competition.

That success also secured qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup, where Durban City will represent South Africa next season.

KADODIA WELCOMES UMBRO

Durban City FC chief executive Younus Kadodia welcomed the partnership and believes it will support the club’s ambitions on and off the field.

“We are delighted to welcome Umbro as our official technical partner. As one of the game’s most respected names, Umbro brings with it a rich football pedigree, and we see this as a natural partnership for both organisations.

“Durban City FC continues to build momentum on and off the pitch and having a brand of Umbro’s calibre alongside us will strengthen our ambitions while ensuring our players and supporters have access to high-quality products throughout the season.”

UMBRO TO SUPPLY FULL RANGE

As part of the agreement, Umbro will provide official match kits, training gear and travel apparel for both the men’s and women’s teams.

Supporters will also have access to a range of official merchandise, including caps, hoodies, T-shirts and scarves throughout the three-year partnership.

The deal marks another significant milestone for Durban City FC as the club continues its rapid rise following an impressive debut season in the Betway Premiership.

Meanwhile, the club recently announced the appointment of former Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef.
