4F, the largest Polish sports brand owned by OTCF S.A., is joining the group of business partners of PGE GiEK Skra Bełchatów. In the 2024/2025 PlusLiga season, the company will support the Bełchatów-based club as a Technical Partner, providing dedicated training and match kits, as well as 4F Teamwear accessories.
As part of the collaboration between Skra and 4F, unique, dedicated designs have been created for the training and match kits – including home, away, and libero uniforms – in which the Bełchatów team will compete during the new PlusLiga volleyball season. The season officially begins on September 14, but the first results of 4F designers' work – beach volleyball kits – will be showcased from August 2–4 in Ustka during the PGE Summer League.
The official kits that PGE GiEK Skra Bełchatów will wear in PlusLiga competitions will be fully unveiled during the team's pre-season presentation.
– We are very pleased that the 4F brand has joined the group of our club's Partners. It’s very important to us that this is a Polish brand, with a strong market position and top-class sportswear and equipment. From the very beginning, our cooperation has been professional and exemplary. We can’t wait to present the results of this partnership – said Wiesław Deryło, President of the Management Board of KPS Skra Bełchatów.
PGE GiEK Skra Bełchatów is the latest PlusLiga club to team up with 4F, following ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle, PGE Projekt Warszawa, and Ślepsk Malow Suwałki. In addition, players from Enea Czarni Radom will wear 4F kits in the Tauron 1. Liga, while the women’s team of UNI Opole will compete in the Tauron Liga wearing the Polish brand’s gear.
– With passion and commitment, we are consistently building 4F’s presence in the Polish volleyball market. We’re entering the 2024/25 season with as many as six Polish clubs from PlusLiga and Tauron Liga wearing our gear, which positions us as one of the leaders in this category – says Justyna Tomczyk, Management Board Member at OTCF S.A., owner of the 4F brand. – The cooperation with PGE GiEK Skra Bełchatów is particularly important to us, as this is a club with a rich history, nine-time Polish champion, with great sporting ambitions and a strong fan base. We’re rooting for the club’s success in the upcoming season – she adds.
In the near future, the club and 4F will release replica match kits for Skra fans. They will be available for purchase in the Fan Store, through the brand’s e-commerce channels, and in selected 4F retail locations.
The 4F brand is one of the strategic partners of Polish sports and is rapidly expanding internationally. It is known for its long-standing cooperation with the Polish Ski Association, the Polish Athletics Association, and the Polish Basketball Association. Since 2009, athletes have worn 4F gear at both Summer and Winter Olympic Games without interruption. In Paris, the Polish brand will dress the Olympic teams of Greece, Ukraine, Slovakia, Latvia, Croatia, and Kosovo.
The 4F Teamwear project plays a key role in OTCF S.A.’s operations. As part of this initiative, the 4F brand collaborates not only with the aforementioned volleyball clubs, but also with football clubs from the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, Orlen Basket League and Orlen Basket Women’s League, as well as all national basketball teams and the Polish national amputee football team.
