Romai Sports

Romai Sports is an Emirati sportswear design and manufacturing company founded in 2012 by Khamis Al-Rumaithy. The company was established on July 12, 2012, and is described as the first company in the United Arab Emirates to undertake the design and sale of sportswear for athletes. Its emergence gave the UAE a locally based participant in a sector that has traditionally been dominated by large international sportswear groups. The brand's business centers on designing and manufacturing sportswear and related accessories for organized teams. Its products are worn by players representing football, futsal, and handball clubs and national teams. Rather than being documented primarily as a mass-market athletic footwear or lifestyle label, Romai Sports is associated with teamwear, institutional supply, and sports sponsorships. These relationships provide teams with designed playing kits and establish the brand's visibility through competitive sport. Romai's first recorded sponsorship and kit-design agreement was with Al Wasl Sports Club in the United Arab Emirates, covering the 2012–2013 period. The company subsequently supplied or sponsored other football organizations, including Al Wahda Sports Club, Al Shabab, and Al Fateh. Its football portfolio also extended beyond individual clubs to national teams. Documented national-team relationships included Bahrain from 2014 to 2019, Jamaica from 2015 to 2018, Palestine in 2018, and Senegal from 2017 to 2018. The company also had a broad relationship with clubs in the Bahraini Premier League, covering all clubs during the 2017–2019 period. Romai Sports' activities were not limited to outdoor football. The company is also documented as having supplied the United Arab Emirates futsal national team from 2014 to 2016, as well as Al-Dhafra in futsal. In handball, it supplied the Emirates club. These relationships indicate a team-sports strategy spanning several disciplines rather than a single-sport focus. The available public material emphasizes Romai Sports' role as a UAE-based designer, manufacturer, and sports sponsor. It does not provide verified information about revenue, employee numbers, retail distribution, ownership beyond its founder, corporate structure, headquarters city, current executives, or a current official website. It also does not establish whether all historical sponsorship agreements remain active. Accordingly, Romai Sports is best characterized as a specialist Emirati teamwear brand with a documented history of supplying clubs and national teams across football and related indoor and court sports.

Romai Sports was founded in the United Arab Emirates by Khamis Al-Rumaithy on July 12, 2012. Its formation marked the creation of a UAE company specifically focused on designing and selling sportswear for athletes. The company is described in available reference material as the first establishment in the country to engage in this activity, giving it a distinctive place in the development of locally based sportswear businesses in the Emirates. Romai entered the market through team sponsorship and kit design. Its first documented relationship was with Al Wasl Sports Club, for which it sponsored and designed sportswear during the 2012–2013 period. The company then expanded its club relationships in UAE football, including Al Wahda Sports Club from 2013 to 2015 and Al Shabab from 2015 to 2018. It also supplied Al Fateh from 2016 to 2018, extending its club presence beyond the UAE. The brand developed an international teamwear footprint through national-team partnerships. Bahrain is documented as a Romai-supported national team from 2014 to 2019, while Jamaica was associated with the brand from 2015 to 2018. Romai also supplied Palestine in 2018 and Senegal from 2017 to 2018. These arrangements placed the brand's designs on teams competing outside its home market and helped establish its identity as a provider of competitive team apparel rather than only a domestic sports label. Romai's football activities included a particularly broad arrangement in the Bahraini Premier League, where it is documented as supplying all clubs during the 2017–2019 period. In addition to outdoor football, the company supplied the United Arab Emirates futsal national team from 2014 to 2016 and worked with Al-Dhafra in futsal. It also supplied the Emirates handball club. This expansion across football, futsal, and handball shows an effort to serve multiple organized sports and to use sponsorships as a route to market recognition. Publicly available information about Romai Sports remains limited. The documented record establishes its founding, Emirati origin, sportswear focus, and historical team relationships, but does not provide a detailed account of manufacturing facilities, retail channels, financial performance, current sponsorships, management succession, or present-day corporate ownership. The historical sponsorship dates should therefore be understood as documented past relationships rather than evidence that those partnerships continue today.
