A brand strategy

The objective is clear: to create bridges between two disciplines with historically distinct audiences.

The United Kingdom, fertile ground for padel

Brentford's choice is not insignificant. The club benefits from a modern image, a solid fan base, and increasing exposure.

But above all, he plays in a country where padel is experiencing explosive growth. The number of active players has increased from approximately 15 in 000 over 400 in 000, a growth that naturally attracts brands.

Football and padel now share common values: competitiveness, community, and an active lifestyle. These elements facilitate the increasingly frequent brand extensions.

A dynamic that was already in place

This initiative is part of a broader strategy. Joma is multiplying its cross-functional projects, whether they involve football clubs ormajor sporting events.

The Spanish brand also boasts a long tradition of personalized products, particularly in the running, where it was one of the first to offer editions dedicated to certain iconic races.

With Brentford, Joma confirms a fundamental trend: padel is becoming a credible marketing tool, including for top-tier football clubs.

And clearly, this is just the beginning.
