The Intersport Group closed the 2025 financial year with sales growth.
The Bern-based trading association closed 2025 with a sales increase of 0.4 percent compared to the previous year, IIC-Intersport International Corporation GmbH announced on Tuesday. Adjusted for currency effects, growth was 1.2 percent.
The group, which is active in 40 countries and claims to have a branch network of 5,260 points of sale, achieved global omnichannel sales of 14.1 billion euros in the period. In doing so, they underlined their “resilience, operational discipline and ongoing transformation” as the year was affected by significant currency fluctuations.
“2025 was a stable and constructive year for Intersport,” said Tom Foley, CEO of the sports trading group. “Despite some external pressures, we have achieved continued growth, strengthened profitability and made significant progress on our long-term strategic priorities. Our renewed and new partnerships, our commitment to performance categories and the passion of our teams worldwide strengthen our position at the heart of the sport.”
Intersport achieved “strong results” in the core performance categories in 2025, with running becoming the best-performing category.
Growth and merger
The expansion of branch networks, increasing customer engagement and continuous investments in local relevance are also said to have made strong progress in new and developing markets, according to Bern. Markets such as Turkey and Algeria, among others, have benefited from constant expansion and increasing demand in important categories. Existing markets such as Greece, Canada and Ireland also recorded solid growth.
In addition, there were several structural realignments “to strengthen regional integration and operational efficiency”. Slovenia came under the supervision of Austria, Denmark under Sweden and Spain under France.
