JD to become AS Roma Official Retail Partner from 2024-25 season

The multi-year agreement will enable JD to boost its presence across the Italian football landscape while expanding the retail network for some AS Roma official clothing across JD’s growing European retail estate. 

The JD partnership creates an important growth opportunity for AS Roma to amplify its brand through one of the leading global retailers in athleisure.

Founded in 1981, JD quickly established itself as a key player in the global sports fashion market. Characterized by quality, innovation, confidence and style, the company aims to become the world's leading sports and urban lifestyle powerhouse. The brand, which was founded in the UK, has since seen incredible growth across Europe, with further new stores set to open across Italy throughout 2024.
