PRESS RELEASE – FZ FORZA launches new collection partnering Solibad

The Danish brand FZ Forza is about to launch this fall a brand new collection together with the charity foundation Solibad, Badminton without borders.

This is a unique occasion for Solibad to strengthen a partnership which was already going on well for the past three years, and spread their common actions more widely thanks to the distribution of this new collection all around the planet.
“We are truly happy to continue and strengthen this partnership with Forza and to give it a new turn with this new line of clothing. We share with our Danish friend the same values of sportsmanship and equality of access to sport for everyone and we hope this collection will be a great success so that we can finance more and more programs to help children in the need” says Raphael Sachetat, founder of Solibad.

“I was lucky enough to be in Bekasi, in the outskirts of Jakarta, when the first shirts were revealed and given to the children of our program in Indonesia – who live in a giant garbage dump and I saw twinkles in their eyes when they put them on” adds the French reporter.

“We are truly delighted to consolidate this partnership with Solibad. These first years working together have allowed us to finance some of Solibad’s programs on site and it is with pride that we take part of this joint collaboration and to be an actor of the sport’s development and its social impact” says Bruno Galent, director of Forza France and Switzerland branch
« Last summer, I had the opportunity to visit one school in Kathmandu (Nepal) where we helped to finance all furniture needed in the classrooms. The kids as well as the management were really grateful, it is in experiencing those moments that we know why we keep working passionately » adds Galent.

The collection consists of a shirt, a polo shirt, a racket and a badminton bad, all black – Forza’s signature color, with the rainbow colors of Solibad. All products will be made in Forza’s own factories, which have a very strict policy of good working conditions and fair trade, as it is the case for all the goods sold by the Charity online on their boutique. 8% of the total sales of this collection will be given for Solibad’s programs around the world.

This new collection comes after a 3 year campaign “1% for Solibad” where 1% of all sales from Forza in France and Switzerland was donated to the charity. And which had permitted to finance a whole program in Indonesia for a year. 1000 rackets will also be sent by Forza to Solibad’s programs.

Here is how to find Solibad’s collection in Forza’s stores near you:

The World Championships offered up a great number of spectacular matches. None more so than the Womens Singles finals. Both athletes were carrying the weight of their country's expectations on their respective shoulders. Both athletes in turn, delivered a performance for the ages.

Japan 🇯🇵 had not won a gold medal since 1977. India 🇮🇳 has never won a badminton world championships. In sports there can only be one winner. If ever there was a time, where honours deserved to be shared, this was the one.

Fortunately for fans across the world, Nozomi Okuhara and PV Sindhu are just 22 years old. They're destined for many classic matchups on the biggest stage, for years to come. Their obvious difference in stature and playing styles, make for a fascinating narrative. This benefits not only the athletes in question, but Womens Singles as a category.

Asides from being marvellous athletes and exceptional fighters, they both have another major asset. They are very personable and distinctly marketable. Never was this more clearly on display, than during Okuhara's endearing post-match interview. Venturing in to risky territory with her broken English, her hearty personality shone right through and the slight Japanese lady, not only won the title, but the hearts and minds of everyone in attendance. Her efforts seem extraordinarily refreshing, when compared to many of her male counterparts.

It is common knowledge that Sindhu has monetarily profited from the status she holds within her community. One can only hope, that Okuhara finds similar popularity back in Japan and is received with a hero's welcome upon return.

Oh, and then there is the matter of that rally. The rally of the tournament. The rally of the year. Considering the circumstances, one could be forgiven for taking the superlatives even further.
