Valencia sign Kappa kit Deal

The work of Vicente Soriano and his closest collaborators starting to bear fruit. Valencia confirmed the immediate signing of a contract with the brand Kappa for the next three seasons, for which they will receive 5.5 million euros.

During the day there was an exchange of documentation to close the contract, which was signed in the a few hours, according to sources at Valencia.

"We have to wait several days until next week, to give time to Nike to match the offer, as they have the first rights," said Vicente Soriano . But Nike has already said to Valencia not to match the offer of Kappa.

The director of marketing, John Paul Miller, closed the agreement on Monday in Turin. Among other commitments, Kappa is committed to expanding the sale of the Valencia in about 2,000 stores that have opened in China, a market that seeks to be exploited.

Valencia has been wearing Nike since 2000.

Now this is great news!! Love Kappa! They actually look like soccer jerseys...I do have to admit that last years Kappa were better than this years but you can\'t go wrong with these style of shirts, either to play in or to just rock on the streets. You do have to have the body to pull\'em off though...if u have a beer belly, it just wont work!

Nike will probably end up signing another important spanish side like Sevilla or Villareal.

The same happen when Borussia Dourtmond switch to kappa, nike already hab Werder Bremen.

I hope Barcelona never quits nike

Anyone who moves from lazy , constipated for ideas NIke is fine by me..Realistically valencia only changed for the money as they are massively in debt and need all the help they can get...Spains new Leeds.

It\'s a very good deal for Valencia, Kappa will pay double and will be the 1st team of the brand with AS Roma.
Nike came to Valencia after the first UCL. The shirts of the best period of Valencia history are from Nike. They don\'t value Valencia as Kappa does right now. Nike resigned Atlético de Madrid last summer. So in Spain will only be FCB and ATM from Nike.

Last 10 years Valencia\'s Championships:

2 Spanish Leagues (2002, 2004)
2 Spanish Cup\'s (1999, 2008)
1 Spanish Supercup (1999)
1 UEFA Cup (2004)
1 European Supercup (2004)
1 UEFA Intertoto Cup (1998)

2 Runners-up Uefa Champions League (2000, 2001)
3 Runners-up Spanish Supercup (2002, 2004, 2008)


Last 10 years Atlético de Madrid achievements:

1 UEFA Intertoto Cup (2007)
1 Runners-up UEFA Intertoto Cup (2004)
1 Runners-up Spanish Cup (1999-2000)
2 years in Spanish 2nd division


Goodbye NIKE!
Here in Valencia, we hate the orange in 1st kit. We\'re blanc i negres (black and white) and we only understand the orange in 2nd or 3rd kit!!!
We hope Kappa forget orange at last!

Amunt Valencia CF
Amunt AS Roma

f*ck nike.

As a Valencia supporter, they didnt value Valencia cf as it deserve. One of the teams that has achieved more trophys in europe in the last 10 years, in finals... etc etc. And they didnt want to increase the money of the contract?... so.... see you....

I think nike was paying more to teams like... At.Madrid.... playing in 2º division... good nike good!!!!

I like the new design of Kappa, and they pay us more... so... completely welcome.

P.S i really like not only the official kit, also the caps,jumpers,hoodies... etc etc of kappa, are cool

who wants another Nike kit made by 10year olds or an Adidas kit that looks the same as every kit they have made since1980\'s

Kappa is a great brand....unique

Best shirt in many years. It was a great deal for Valencia. I hate to lose Nike, but Kappa came up with more money and more creativity in their design.

Big kuddos for Kappa. I love the \'murcielago\" bat in the shirt!!!

Amunt Valencia!
