The Polish brand 4F, owned by OTCF S.A., has become the official technical sponsor of the Polish Volleyball Federation and will dress the women's and men's volleyball teams of Poland in all age categories for at least the next four years. This is another prestigious contract for 4F, which has been involved in professional sports for over 17 years, providing outfits for the national teams of the Polish Ski Association, the Polish Athletics Association, and the Polish Basketball Association.
– We are extremely proud that volleyball, a favorite sport of millions of Poles and a hallmark of Polish sports globally, is joining the ranks of sports associations with which we partner – says Igor Klaja, CEO of OTCF S.A. and founder of the 4F brand. When I founded the company 30 years ago, I never dreamed that together with my colleagues we would design and sew outfits for the greatest stars of Polish sport, representing a wide range of disciplines, and just at the last Olympic Games in Paris, also for five sports associations and six national Olympic committees. Collections that we create for Polish athletes, including today’s inclusion of volleyball players, hold a special place in our efforts. Dressing them is a huge source of national pride for us and proof that a Polish brand is ready to provide products of the highest quality, worthy of World Champions and Olympic Silver Medalists.
The contract between 4F and PZPS covers both women's and men's indoor volleyball. For the coming years, 4F will provide training and match uniforms for the Polish volleyball teams across all age categories – including, in the case of qualification, for the Olympic Games in 2028. The 4F brand will provide equipment for the players and the PZPS coaching staff as early as the first days of sports competition in 2025.
– We are pleased that our national team will be dressed by a Polish brand. The close collaboration between 4F and Polish Volleyball has resulted in the creation of a collection that meets the highest standards in terms of both design and execution. We believe this partnership will bring us mutual benefits, and together we will be able to celebrate many successes. We are happy that, as one of the best volleyball federations, consistently among the world’s top tiers, we are gaining a partner that has addressed our needs: with a collection specially designed for us, a professional approach tailored to our requirements, and direct involvement from experts experienced in managing the largest sports events worldwide – adds Sebastian Świderski, president of PZPS.
The idea that guided the designers at 4F while creating the collection was the spirit of victory, which is most associated with Polish volleyball. The patterns on the shirts were inspired by the motif of an eagle's wing and a net, reinforced by flames symbolizing strength, courage, and resilience – qualities that particularly characterize the team of the current Olympic silver medalists. The match and training outfits will be produced in Poland.
The collection includes four color sets: white and red, red, bottle green, and a training set in anthracite color. All sets are manufactured using the same full sublimation technology, made from the highest quality materials to provide maximum comfort both during training and actual matches. The joint collection also includes, among others, match track suits, training gear, travel clothing, and accessories, which will be essential items for the volleyball players during national competitions.
4F has not forgotten about the legion of reliable Polish fans, preparing a wide product offering that includes replica jerseys for adults and children, as well as a fan collection. The collection will be released for sale before the national team's first match, and details about its availability will be communicated regularly through 4F and Polish Volleyball channels.
