The brand is already the official ball supplier for Ligue 2, the French second division, and the Coupe de la Ligue, the French League Cup.
Melanie Steinhilber, managing director of uhlsport GmbH, says: “The deal is the next logical step in order to expand the strength of our brand within our second strongest global market.”
Work has already begun on product development for the new Ligue 1 ball range.
