Puma will replace Adidas, whose tie with Palmeiras closes in December this year. The deal was already closed since the end of February. 'It is with great satisfaction that we announce Puma as our partner to supply sports equipment as of January 1, 2019. In addition to being the union of two giant brands of world football, this agreement guarantees Palmeiras an exclusive project, being the only football team sponsored by the company in the national territory, maintaining the projection of our brand on the international scene' said Palmeiras president Mauricio Galiotte.
