Bauerfeind UK Announced as Official Sports Compression Partner of Hull FC

We’re excited to share some big news: Bauerfeind UK has officially partnered with Hull FC, becoming the club’s Official Sports Compression Partner for the upcoming rugby league season.

Why Hull FC?

As one of rugby league’s oldest and most successful clubs, Hull FC are a team built on tradition, passion, and resilience. Founded in 1865, the Black & Whites are known for their uncompromising style of play, fierce local rivalry with Hull KR, and one of the most loyal fanbases in the sport.

With a proud history of Challenge Cup triumphs, including back-to-back Wembley victories in 2016 and 2017, Hull FC know what it takes to win at the highest level. Supporting a club with such heritage and ambition is a natural fit for Bauerfeind.

How Bauerfeind Supports Performance

Rugby league is one of the most demanding sports in the world. Players put their bodies under enormous strain with powerful collisions, explosive sprints, and repeat efforts over 80 gruelling minutes.

That’s where Bauerfeind compression technology makes a difference:

Enhanced circulation to deliver oxygen to working muscles.
Reduced fatigue and muscle vibration, helping maintain peak performance.
Faster recovery, so players can go again in training and competition.

It’s the same science-backed compression trusted by Olympic athletes, professional footballers, and elite teams worldwide — now available to Hull FC.

“We are delighted to partner with Hull FC, a club with such a proud history and passionate fanbase. At Bauerfeind, our mission is to help athletes perform at their best and recover faster, and we’re excited to provide the players with the same trusted compression technology used by elite teams across the globe.”

Hull FC’s leadership echoed this excitement, highlighting the importance of player performance and welfare, and how Bauerfeind products will provide a valuable edge throughout the season.

Gareth Ellis, Director of Rugby & Wellbeing at Hull FC added:

“Player welfare and performance are at the core of everything we do, and this partnership with Bauerfeind UK provides our squad with access to world-leading compression products. We’re looking forward to seeing the benefits both on and off the field throughout the season.”

Benefits Beyond the Pitch

This partnership isn’t just for the players — fans and customers will also get the chance to engage with Bauerfeind through exclusive content, promotions, and insights into how compression gear supports recovery and performance.

So whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend runner, or a passionate Hull FC supporter, you can experience the same benefits that help keep the Black & Whites at their best.
