The historic multi-year partnership means the American sporting giants become the first-ever official sponsor of an independent women’s Serie A football club.
Jennifer Myron, VP and general manager of Nike’s women’s division, said the following in a statement. “We are proud of the role we have played in fostering and supporting the continued growth of the women’s game for both the elite and amateur athletes.
“One of the most exciting forces for change is the continued rise of women’s sports, and the partnership with FC Como Women solidifies our commitment to inviting more women into football.”
Founded in 2020, the Lake Como-based team gained promotion to Serie A in the 2021/22 season. The year after that, the league turned fully professional. Now, the 2024/25 season is set to be FC Como’s first under the new ownership of Mercury/13.
Since announcing this historic partnership, Nike and Como have released their 2024/25 home and away strips.
The home kit is primarily white with black applications on the collar and side panels of the jersey. As for the away strip we see a primarily black jersey with white applications on the collar and side panels. A unique zig-zag graphic also runs throughout the away kit.
In other news, a prediction of Morocco’s 2024 away kit has been leaked online.
