Initially specialized in ten main sporting events, the name fit perfectly with our company. Because at DECATHLON there are gaaaaaanz many different sports at once.
As a sports company, we have a very clear goal: We want to share our joy in sport with everyone. That is why our motto is not an empty slogan, but a living philosophy. Our teams are enthusiastic athletes who can combine their sporting passion and work with us. This is possible in a very different way, for example, by passing on our training tips and product recommendations in our stores and, of course, also online to our customers.
The special thing about our company is that we can offer all our products at a good price and at the same time high quality. This works by holding the entire value chain in one hand. Our research teams are constantly examining the needs of the athletes and on this basis our sporting brands develop innovative articles which are then manufactured by us in our own production facilities. Through our logistics centers, the sporting goods arrive at our stores and can be tried out by our customers themselves.
Because who already was in one of our branches knows: DECATHLON is something special! Why? Because there is so much space available that bikes, inline skates, city scooters or fitness equipment can be tried simultaneously - and in addition, a lot of space to play football and trampoline is bouncing. In short: an experience for every sports fan.
