Federation and Zany Confecções join forces to promote Cape Verdean culture through football

Praia, Dec 17 (Inforpress) – The Cape Verdean Football Federation (FCF) and the brand Zany Confecções today formalised a strategic partnership for the creation of identity-based outfits using traditional “panu di terra”, which will be worn by national teams in international competitions.

The protocol, signed in Praia by the president of the FCF, Mário Semedo, and the company’s founder, Zany, aims to strengthen national identity through fashion and sport, with particular focus on Cabo Verde’s participation in the upcoming World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

“The concept we have for our participation in the World Cup and AFCON is that of a global nation. We want to show who we are, and one way of doing that is through outfits that will carry our cultural identity onto the world’s biggest stages,” said Mário Semedo.

The federation president also expressed his gratitude to Zany Confecções and stressed that this partnership is not only a gain for the federation and the ‘Blue Sharks’, but also for Cabo Verde.
