Patrick to remain the equipment supplier for Belgian referees
The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) and Patrick have extended their collaboration related to our arbitration until 2026.
As such, the sports brand will continue to be the equipment supplier of our referees and equip our match officials, as it has done since 2009.
The RBFA is delighted to extend this long-standing partnership, according to Stephanie Forde, Operations Director of the Professional Refereeing Department of the RBFA: “Patrick has shown its confidence in us and in our referees for many years. and we can only rejoice to see a collaboration which suits us fully to continue for at least another five years."
Patrick is also delighted with this ambitious extension, explains its CEO Jip Maathuis: “We are very happy with our collaboration so far and the visibility it has given us in the world of Belgian football. But we still want to go further and that is why we will, together with the RBFA, develop a plan to allow an increase in the number of referees in the country in the next five years."
