June 4 – La Liga’s RC Celta Vigo has signed a five-year deal with Hummel which will see the Danish sports brand become the club’s official kit supplier until 2029, replacing Adidas.
The deal sees Hummel will add yet another La Liga team to their growing sponsorship roster as the Danish brand continues to grow across the European top five leagues.
