THE NEW UEFA MATCH KITS WILL BE SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ISTANBUL FOR THE FINAL OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

The new UEFA match kits, designed and made by Macron, the "Official UEFA Referee Match Kit Supplier", will be seen for the first time during the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter on Saturday 10 June at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

The Macron Hero logo, which has appeared on the shirts of match officials in UEFA men's and women's football since 2019, will therefore play an important role in Europe's most prestigious match, together with the teams of Pep Guardiola and Simone Inzaghi. The new kit will be supplied to all refereeing teams in official UEFA matches for the two-year period from 2023-25, starting in the early stages of next season's European club competitions.

Like the previous UEFA referee suit, the new one is made of Eco Softlock, a polyester fabric made entirely from recycled plastic. Together with the excellent quality and high-tech materials, the new kit provides unrivaled comfort and practicality to support the vitally important role that referees and their supporting officials play. It also sends a clear message of sustainability and respect for the environment.

The new shirt is available in four different color variants: black, fluorescent yellow, fluorescent blue and the new fluorescent red version, which the UEFA referees in Istanbul will wear. The shirt has a knitted round neck and practical pockets with Velcro closure on the front. A dot motif and the UEFA logo are alternately embossed on the front and sleeves. The Macron Hero is placed on the right chest and shoulders. There is a patch on the left sleeve with the "UEFA FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN" logo.

The UEFA referee equipment is completed by shorts - black for all four color variants - with back pockets with Velcro closure. The socks are the same color as the shirt. The Slim Fit shirts are made of Eco Softlock fabric with Eco Micromesh inserts for maximum breathability.

“Close collaboration with the UEFA referee section and positive feedback from match officials have enabled us to improve the performance of each new outfit,” explained Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron. "Referees have a tough job to do and need practical, comfortable clothing to do it well. We are happy to offer them the very best quality combined with an elegant, stylish design with tailor-made pockets."

Scheidsrechters.nl and Klaver Sport are proud to announce that as a supplier of the sports brand Macron , they can offer the official referee clothing of UEFA.
