Paris Saint-Germain have announced the extension of their
contract with Nike until the 2021-22 season.
The Ligue 1 club signed their first deal with the sporting
manufacturer during the 1989-90 campaign, with the partnership seeing all kits,
training wear and sportswear designed by the American firm.
PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi said: "We are very
proud that Nike, a highly-demanding and selective partner and the number one
sport company in the world, has chose to continue the adventure with us.
"This proves they believe in our ambitions. Paris
Saint-Germain has now clearly become a member of the very exclusive club of
major world teams."
To mark the announcement, special animations will be
displayed during Sunday night's Ligue 1 clash between PSG and Lille at the Parc
des Princes, with Nike highlighting les Parisiens as a global force to be
reckoned with.
"We're delighted to confirm the continuation of our partnership
with Paris Saint-Germain," said Nike brand president Trevor Edwards.
"We began working with the club almost 23 years ago
and there has never been a greater potential for the partnership than there is
today.
"Paris Saint-Germain is one of the most ambitious,
forward thinking and innovative sports teams in sport and we are looking
forward to the future."
