What Fourteen does

Fourteen is a premium Swiss sportswear company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes high-performance sports apparel and accessories that combine Swiss engineering precision with Italian design elegance, serving a dual customer base of B2B institutional clients — including national sports federations, clubs, schools, corporations, and major sporting events — and B2C consumers through its own e-commerce platform (shop.14fourteen.com). Anchor relationships include the Swiss Tennis Federation (Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup since 2024), Swiss Basketball Federation (since 2018), FECAFOOT Cameroon (since 2025), Slovenia Tennis Federation (since 2024), and flagship event partnerships with the Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad and ATP 250 tournaments in Geneva and Gstaad.

The product portfolio spans men's, women's, and kids' apparel including hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, polo shirts, pants, shorts, and accessories (caps, wristbands, socks), plus sport-specific collections for tennis, football, basketball, fitness, and FIBA 3x3. Core technical positioning rests on advanced performance fabrics, an eco-friendly R&D focus, and limitless customization capabilities that allow cohesive designs across genders, ages, and sizes. Technology infrastructure runs on the BigCommerce e-commerce platform with integrations for major payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, TWINT, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Google Pay), social login (Google, Facebook), and international shipping carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL, Swiss Post). A forthcoming mobile app is signaled on the corporate site.

Fourteen operates a dual revenue model: B2B custom sportswear partnerships (project-based contracts with federations, clubs, schools, corporations, and event organizers) and B2C e-commerce direct sales with unit pricing ranging from approximately CHF 8 (wristbands) to CHF 90 (jackets) and multi-currency support in EUR, CHF, and USD. Geographic reach spans 12+ countries via the Geneva headquarters, a European subsidiary (Fourteen Europe Srl, Cagliari, Italy), and a North American subsidiary (Fourteen USA Inc., Wilmington, DE). The company employs 11-50 staff under founder and CEO Andrea Picciau, who brings 30+ years of sportswear industry experience.
