“The World’s First Football Club – Sheffield FC are delighted to be partnering with Capelli Sport as our technical kit supplier. We feel the quality and range of product Capelli Sport produce mixed with our heritage will really complement each other. Ironically our 1904 Captain Fred Milne led the first overseas team to play in the US, and with the 2026 FIFA World Cup only three years away, I think there is great opportunity for both brands.”

Supplying Sheffield FC directly with a great kit offering as well as supporting the club in achieving its goals with our unique football eco-system Capelli Sport Plus+. I would like to thank Richard and his team for the trust they have put into Capelli Sport since our very first meeting, we look forwards to a positive partnership over the coming years.”
President and CEO of Capelli Sport, George Altirs said:
