Beschrijving

Yes, we're an international sports retailer with 2080 stores in 56 countries, and if you look a little closer, you'll see we're so much more.

Decathlon is dedicated to helping, inspiring and guiding you through your sports experiences. We believe that discovering new sports and being active – well, it's an important part of life – and living well shouldn't just be for a privileged few.

The power of people and positivity is at the heart of our business. Our team are sports people who are full of energy and enthusiasm for what we do; we're encouraged to innovate and improve, and most importantly, to make changes for the better. We take our responsibility to sport and the world seriously, and we strive to anticipate and rise to the challenges that face our society and our environment.

Decathlon is not just a reseller. We're unique because we have our own in-house brands. We are experts in our fields, and we draw on our knowledge and experience to create, design and manufacture our own products in our own studios and labs. Currently, we have over 20 Decathlon brands, each dedicated to a specific sport or practice. And, our family ownership means we're here for the long term. We reinvest our profits into research and development, helping to lower the cost of participating in sport.
