Why National Teams Trust Kukri Sports

World News

For national governing bodies, choosing the right performance sportswear partner is about much more than producing kit.

Organisations need a supplier capable of delivering reliably for athletes competing on the international stage, while also understanding the identity and values of the team they represent.

At Kukri Sports, supporting national teams & organisations means delivering exactly that – combining global capability with local expertise to help teams perform at their best.

A Global Network Supporting National Sport

Kukri operates across multiple regions, with offices in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Dubai, Brisbane, Hamilton, Belfast and the United Kingdom, alongside a network of regional representatives across key sporting markets.

Sales managers operate in regions including Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Chile, Barcelona and Amsterdam, providing local expertise while connecting organisations to Kukri’s wider international network.

This global footprint enables Kukri to support national governing bodies across different continents and time zones, ensuring consistent service and reliable delivery wherever teams are preparing to compete.

How Kukri Supports National Governing Bodies

– Worn by more than 400 athletes competing across multiple sports, including weightlifting, hockey and para lawn bowls

– Worn during Team England’s record-breaking 176 medal haul, including 58 gold medals

Mark Osikoya, CEO at Commonwealth Games England, said “We know how much it means for athletes to wear their team England kit and, as a valued partner, Kukri share our commitment to inclusion, diversity and sustainability.”

While Kukri operates internationally, its partnerships are built on local understanding.

By working closely with organisations within their markets and providing dedicated regional support, Kukri ensures governing bodies benefit from the reliability of a global supplier while maintaining the responsiveness and cultural understanding of a local partner.
