Libreville, Gabon — The Gabonese Football Federation (FEGAFOOT) has announced the extension of its contract with Moroccan sports equipment company AB Sport for an additional two years, effective from August 2026. This strategic move comes after a successful partnership during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where the Gabonese national football team, known as the Panthères, were kitted out by AB Sport.
The renewal, which spans a total of two years, ensures that the Panthères will continue to be equipped by AB Sport as they prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and beyond. This continuity is seen as a vote of confidence in the stability and quality of AB Sport’s products.
The partnership between FEGAFOOT and AB Sport began in 2025, ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. It was a strategic decision to provide the Panthères with top-quality equipment to enhance their performance on the international stage.
The stability provided by the renewed contract is expected to be crucial for the Panthères as they prepare for the upcoming qualifiers.
The continuity in equipment supply is anticipated to positively impact the team’s performance and morale. With the extension of the contract, it is likely that AB Sport will continue to produce and distribute official team merchandise, including jerseys, which is a significant source of revenue for both the team and the federation.
The extension of the partnership with AB Sport also highlights the growing importance of African football on the global stage and the willingness of international companies to invest in the continent’s sports infrastructure.
As the Panthères prepare for the challenges ahead, the renewed partnership with AB Sport is expected to provide them with the necessary support to compete at the highest level.
The next few years will be crucial for the Gabonese football team, and the stability of their equipment supply is a key factor in their success.
