The Professional Referee Organization and Macron are pleased to announce a new partnership through to 2031 that will see the Italian sportswear brand become the Official and Exclusive Referee Uniform Provider for match officials in Major League Soccer.
Under the agreement, Macron will also supply technical and performance wear to match officials and PRO staff, supporting their work on and off the field.
Macron continues to strengthen its position as a global reference brand in the sportswear sector, with a consolidated presence across football, rugby, basketball and volleyball.
The partnership with PRO further expands Macron’s long-standing involvement in elite officiating, adding Major League Soccer to an already prestigious portfolio that includes match officials from Concacaf, UEFA, World Rugby and the United Rugby Championship, alongside numerous leading professional clubs and federations worldwide.
Mark Geiger, PRO’s general manager, said: “This agreement comes at a pivotal moment for the game in North America. Macron’s reputation for high-quality performance wear and their track record supporting match officials around the world make them an ideal partner for PRO as we continue to elevate the standards of officiating.”
Gianluca Pavanello, Macron’s CEO, said: “This partnership with the Professional Referee Organization represents a further step in Macron’s commitment to elite-level officiating. PRO has played a key role in the development and professionalisation of refereeing standards in North America, and through this collaboration we aim to support match officials with high-performance apparel designed to meet the demands of the modern game.”
The 2026 MLS season kicks off on February 21, 2026, when the new uniforms will be worn for the first time in a competitive game.
