FURIA recently expanded its reach into the Chinese retail market through a partnership with ONWEAR, an e-commerce company specializing in esports IP merchandise. This collaboration allows Chinese fans to purchase FURIA jerseys directly in their home market. The partnership has the potential to evolve beyond jerseys, with plans to introduce additional merchandise in the future that reflects the evolving values and goals of both organizations.
Under the licensing agreement, ONWEAR will manufacture and distribute FURIA jerseys, ensuring authenticity and quality for Chinese buyers.
"It is a major step to expand our brand into a gigantic market, but it goes beyond that. FURIA is a sociocultural movement that unites people around its values, philosophy, and style. Therefore, the partnership with ONWEAR is also important to overcome geographical barriers and allow more people who connect with us to feel even more part of this movement," said FURIA Co-Founder and Co-CEO André Akkari.
