Nov 30 2007 by Mark Bloom, South Wales Echo

THE Football Association of Wales are set to unveil JJB Sports as the new sponsor of the national team.

The JJB group have struck a deal with the FAW worth £2.5m over a four-year period.

The firm will provide the Wales kit in every JJB store in the Principality.

The tie-up sees an end to an eight year partnership with Italian sportswear Kappa, who apparently had first option on a fresh deal.

The new kit design will be launched on March 1 next year and will be predominantly red, with white piping from the shoulders to wrist.

JJB, who are the largest sports retailer with over 400 stores UK wide, refused to comment on the matter, but the deal should be agreed at a full FAW council meeting today.
