Givova is an Italian manufacturing company located in Scafati.[1] The company, founded on 22 May 2008 by Giovanni Acanfora, produces a wide range of sports equipment (mainly focused on the association football market but also covering other sports) that includes kit uniforms, footballs, and other sportswear. Givova also markets casual wear and accessories.
In 2018 the quality of Givova sportswear jerseys made worldwide attention in a story on involving the intersection of global sportswear brands, World cup teams, and international sanctions against Iran. On 14 June 2018, the New York Times reported that sanctions against Iran blocked the 2018 Iranian World Cup football team from using quality sportswear brands and limited the Iranian team to use other sportswear that were exempt from sanctions, such as Givova.
