• Kumho Tire will serve as the official sponsor of top-flight Polish football club Górnik Zabrze for three years.
• Ahead of the completion of its new factory in 2028, the partnership forms part of Kumho Tire’s strategy to enhance local brand recognition and accelerate its expansion in the European market.

Kumho Tire announced today that it has signed an agreement to become the official tyre partner of Polish football club Górnik Zabrze.

On July 30, the company held a signing ceremony at Arena Zabrze in Poland. The event was attended by key representatives from both sides, including Tae-min Kwon, Managing Director at Kumho Tire Warsaw, and Michał Siara, Director of Górnik Zabrze.

Under the agreement, Kumho Tire will sponsor Górnik Zabrze for three seasons, from 2026–27 through 2028–29. Founded in 1948 and based in Zabrze, the club is one of Poland’s most famous teams, with 14 league titles and seven Polish Cup victories.

As part of the partnership, Kumho Tire’s logo will appear on the sleeves of the club’s kit. The company will also enhance its brand visibility through stadium video boards, fixed advertising signage, and the club’s official website and social media channels. In addition, Kumho Tire will engage local customers through a range of joint marketing initiatives and events.

The partnership is expected to generate strong synergies with Kumho Tire’s new factory in Opole, Poland, which is scheduled to be operational in 2028.
