Did you know that on average people tend to stop playing basketball after 10 minutes if they’re playing on their own? 

It’s more difficult to stay motivated, or to find joy in playing, if you’re not accompanied by friends or teammates. 

So, Decathlon has come up with an ingenious solution… a connected hoop sensor that enables you to play a range of solo or multiplayer games through your smartphone! 

The sensor attaches to your hoop and can detect a missed, scored or swished shot. 

Suddenly, solo basketball practicse is transformed into a competitive challenge - having tried it myself, I can see people getting hooked to this for hours! 

At Decathlon we’re constantly looking for ways to use technology to innovate sporting experiences, and this is just the beginning. 

So, are you ready to play?

"Wow, I am still buzzing from yesterday’s launch event - what an incredible moment!

We revealed our purpose, strategy and new brand to the world, and I’m so excited about the future. 

As part of the event, we saw some amazing products, the new jersey for the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale cycling team AND we heard from some super inspiring athletes.

We heard from Teddy Riner, Méline Rollin and Romain Cannone from the Decathlon Olympic Team of athletes, as well as Sam Bennett of the DECATHLON AG2R LA MONDIALE TEAM.

There was so much energy in the room, and we were joined by thousands of teammates from across 70 different countries!

We’ve kicked off this new era as one big collective and I cannot wait to see where it leads us.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible… Now, it’s time to Move People Through the Wonders of Sport!"

Today marks an incredibly important new chapter for Decathlon … as we share our new purpose, strategy and brand identity with the world. 

Guided by our purpose, to Move People Through the Wonders of Sport, we aim to build a happier, healthier world. 

Our new strategy is anchored to 3 key areas: improving customer experience, turbocharging sustainability, and modernising every aspect of our business. 

Core to improving our customer experience was the introduction of a fresh brand identity, which we have launched today! It is energetic, motivational and aspirational… and includes a new logo that is deep-rooted in our history - we call it ‘the Orbit’. 

I’m so excited to be sharing this with you all - it is the beginning of a new era for Decathlon!

Today is a new starting line for our company! We’ve been working on something wonderful and we’re excited to share our renewed brand identity, with a meaningful logo, an inspiring tagline and a bold new color palette including a new shade of blue.

Decathlon was started in 1976 out of friendship between sports lovers who wanted everyone to enjoy the benefits and fun of being active. 
Now, nearly 50 years later, we continue their legacy and this new chapter is a testament to our ambition to accelerate the positive impact Decathlon can have in the world. It’s a dedication to innovation, community and sustainability. It’s also a commitment to our North Star and our purpose to move people through the wonders of sport. 
We live and breathe sports, that’s why we want to reimagine it. Always! 

Check out our new brand online and in our stores and join us to put play back into sport - on the playground, on the court, or in nature. Ready to play?

Today, on International Women's Day, it's important to remember the efforts of all the men and women who worked tirelessly to create a fairer world.

It's also a moment for us all to take a moment and reaffirm our own commitments to continuing these efforts going forward.

The world has come a long way, even just in my lifetime, but there is still lots of work to be done. 

My hope is that, by the time my children enter the working world, gender equity will be the status quo... not something that we have to fight for. 

I'm really proud of Decathlon's efforts over the past year. We've built an Executive Team with gender parity and female representation amongst top management increased by 15%. 

I'm also really grateful for all of the incredible women and men that I have met during my journey, who have inspired, motivated and supported me. 

Together, we can build a fairer world for future generations.
