April 14 – The Bulgarian Association of Mini Football (BAMF) has announced a new strategic partnership with ERIMA, the established European sports brand, which becomes the official sports apparel provider for the association for the next three years.
With this agreement, BAMF takes a significant step forward in the development of mini football in Bulgaria, aiming for higher organisational standards, a stronger visual identity, and the sustainable growth of the national team and the association’s entire sporting ecosystem.
The collaboration places the Bulgarian National Mini Football Team at the centre of the partnership, with ERIMA providing the official kits for the representative squad during the first year. In the following stages, the agreement envisions a broader brand presence across BAMF’s various activities and enhanced communication with teams and athletes throughout the country.
“The choice of ERIMA is a deliberate one, as the brand has deep roots in European sports history dating back to 1900. As the oldest active German sports brand, ERIMA is synonymous with quality, innovation, and a powerful presence in team sports,” said the BAMF in a statement.
“One of the most iconic moments in the brand’s history was its partnership with the German national football team, which it outfitted from 1962 through the 1978 World Cup, including the legendary 1974 World Cup title victory.
“After being part of adidas starting in 1976, ERIMA became an independent company again in 2005 following a management buy-out. In its modern form, the brand continues to build a strong presence among federations and clubs, emphasising the connection between tradition, premium quality, and community.
“This partnership is far more than a simple equipment contract; it is a statement of long-term vision and professionalism, reinforcing BAMF’s position as a modern, evolving sports organisation. BAMF welcomes ERIMA to its family and looks forward with confidence to a fruitful and successful collaboration over the coming years.”
