JACC Sports Distributors, suppliers of Umbro kit to Ireland teams since 1994, are taking legal advice after the FAI abruptly terminated their sponsorship today.

Since Umbro succeeded Adidas for the 1994 World Cup, the brand has manufactured Ireland apparel – bar a brief spell from 2017 and 2020 when another of JACC’s stable, New Balance, provided the gear.
