FORZA and the Scottish FA renew partnership all the way to a home European Championship
When Europe’s biggest football tournament arrives on Scottish soil in summer 2028, the nation’s players will train and play on FORZA.
Global sports equipment brand FORZA has today renewed its partnership with the Scottish Football Association, extending its role as the Scottish FA’s Preferred Goal Post and Training Equipment Supplier through to July 2028, and into a UEFA EURO 2028 that Scotland will co-host, with Barclays Hampden, the National Stadium, among the tournament’s venues.
The renewal comes at a time of real momentum for Scottish football. FORZA first joined the Scottish FA ahead of UEFA EURO 2024, supplying the Scotland squad’s training equipment for Germany and installing FORZA Stadium Box Goals at Hampden. Since then, Scotland returned to the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998. Now, with a home EURO on the horizon, both organisations are going further – from the National Stadium to grassroots pitches in every corner of the country.
Built for the biggest stage
For the Scottish FA’s hosting of UEFA EURO 2028, FORZA will manufacture and supply the goals at Barclays Hampden to the current UEFA tournament specification, alongside a full package of FORZA training equipment. The equipment will also be used by the Scotland Men’s National Team throughout their UEFA EURO 2028 campaign, which kicks off with qualifiers next year.
From Barclays Hampden to the Highlands
Tournaments inspire the next generation, and this partnership makes sure that inspiration has somewhere to go. FORZA will give each of the Scottish FA’s six Regions – North, East, Central, West, South East and South West – a dedicated equipment allowance, backed by a dedicated Net World Sports account manager to put it to work where it’s needed most. Clubs, coaches and volunteers across every Region will also unlock exclusive FORZA discounts for the length of the agreement, from Shetland to the Borders.
For the fans
Supporters will be part of the story too. Throughout the EURO 2028 campaign, the Scottish FA and FORZA will run giveaways featuring a custom Scotland x FORZA football signed by the Men’sNational Team.
“This one means a lot to everyone at FORZA,” said Sam Williams, Commercial, Sales and Partnerships, Net World Sports. “Being part of Scotland’s journey to EURO 2024 was a genuine privilege – seeing our goals at Barclays Hampden and our equipment in the squad’s hands on football’s biggest stage. To now be renewing as Scotland prepares to welcome Europe to Barclays Hampden is something special. We’re proud to stand behind the national team, and just as proud to be investing in every one of the Scottish FA’s six Regions, because the next Scotland star is out there on a grassroots pitch right now.”
Steven Romeo, Head of Retail and Kit, commented: “We are delighted to renew our partnership with FORZA. The quality of the equipment is first-class, and FORZA’s investment in our regions and grassroots football is hugely important to us. As we look ahead to co-hosting UEFA EURO 2028, this support will help ensure that the benefits of the partnership reach beyond the national team and into football communities across Scotland.”
