A New Era Begins: Le Coq Sportif partners with Edusport Academy and the Caledonian Braves

This autumn 2021 marks a symbolic new chapter for Edusport Academy and the Caledonian Braves. After several successful seasons with Macron, the academy and the club are delighted to announce a partnership with an iconic French sports brand, Le Coq Sportif.

This partnership represents more than just a new kit. Edusport Academy becomes the first sports academy in the United Kingdom to be outfitted by Le Coq Sportif, while the Caledonian Braves proudly step forward as the very first British club to wear the renowned French brand.

This strategic choice holds significant meaning, especially as Le Coq Sportif has been named the official kit provider for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

An Iconic Brand Committed to Excellence

Founded in 1882 in Romilly-sur-Seine, Le Coq Sportif has firmly established itself in the history of global sports. The brand has outfitted generations of athletes, teams, and major sporting events, from the Tour de France and the Olympic Games to top-tier football and rugby competitions.

Today, Le Coq Sportif continues to support prestigious teams including:

  • AS Saint-Étienne
  • OGC Nice in football
  • Racing 92 in rugby

The academy has consistently supported young athletes in achieving their dual sporting and academic ambitions, continually evolving in a professional, ambitious, and inspirational environment.

This exciting collaboration reinforces our identity, ambition, and pride in partnering with such an emblematic brand representing French sporting excellence.
