São Paulo Extends New Balance Kit Deal to 2032 After Council Vote

The vote lands in a charged election year inside the club.

Overview

  • The club’s deliberative council approved the renewal by roughly 135–136 votes to 91, keeping New Balance as kit supplier through 2032.
  • Reports say the package carries a minimum near R$40 million per season with incentives that could lift annual revenue to about R$60 million and an estimated total near R$307 million.
  • Another outlet describes the terms as R$15 million in signing bonuses, 28% royalties, about R$10 million in marketing support, and the full supply of sports gear.
  • São Paulo turned down a Penalty bid as leaders pointed to a 113% jump in merchandising revenue since switching from Adidas and to broader product lines that include women’s and kids’ gear.
  • In the same session, councillors also approved two loans, extended brand and store concessions to Volt Sports subsidiaries, and a Unicesumar shorts sponsorship worth R$7.75 million through December 2028.
