Le Coq Sportif

Despite loaning funds to help Le Coq Sportif fulfil its Paris 2024 kit supply commitments, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) and French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF) have chosen to renew with the embattled sportswear brand.

The French Rugby Federation (FFR) is taking its former kit supplier Le Coq Sportif to court, claiming it is owed more than €5m ($5.6m) in unpaid fees.

Concerns linger over the financial health of Le Coq Sportif as the French Rugby Federation (FFR) moves on from a six-year kit supply term to return to previous sponsor Adidas.

Le Coq Sportif has taken a €2.9m ($3.1m) loan from the Paris 2024 organising committee to help ensure provision of kit at the Games and as a result of what owner Airesis describes as “operational cash flow challenges” for the sportswear brand.

Montpellier Hérault Rugby has extended its kit supply agreement with French sportswear brand Le Coq Sportif.
