The vice-president of the Togolese FA told website republicoftogo.com that he was particularly pleased with the re-signing of the German company, who have proved how loyal they have been to African football.

Aside from Togo, Puma has partnerships with the Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia, Angola, Egypt and Ghana. Puma will be sponsoring the Sparrow Hawks for the next two years.
