The International Hockey Federation (FIH) on Monday announced a partnership with adidas that will see the global sportswear giant support hockeys growth until the end of 2018.
"FIH will provide adidas with a customised set of visibility and marketing opportunities, all designed to actively create new business, as well as offering exclusive areas for retail space at FIH events," FIH said in a statement.
The partnership will see both organisations working together to boost the profile of the sport through joint marketing initiatives, including campaigns on digital channels.
adidas will provide access to a range of content, giving FIH the opportunity to reach out to adidas clubs, including all of their national team partners, as well as adidas sponsored athletes and all of the grassroots work currently being undertaken across the world.
They will also provide FIH staff and officials with the latest hockey clothing and equipment.
Speaking about this, FIH CEO Jason McCracken said: "To partner with the world's biggest sports brand proves once again the commercial value of our sport. adidas' commitment to hockey and growing the game along with their global presence in the sports world is the perfect match for both organisations."
