Decathlon Pro

What Decathlon Pro does

Decathlon Pro is the B2B professional division of Decathlon Group, operating in France as DECATHLON France SAS and headquartered in Villeneuve d'Ascq. The unit supplies sports equipment, team apparel, and related services to professional buyers across five primary verticals: local governments and municipalities, education institutions (primary, secondary, higher), sports clubs and associations, businesses and works councils (CSE), and tourism/leisure facility operators. Catalog coverage spans 20-plus sports categories including collective sports (football, basketball, handball, volleyball, rugby, futsal, hockey), fitness and musculation, racquet sports, aquatic sports, gymnastics, nature and winter sports, combat sports, athletics, and para-sports.

Product portfolio combines Decathlon's proprietary sub-brands (CORENGTH for strength equipment, DOMYOS for fitness, KIPSTA for football and team sports, TARMAK for basketball, PERFLY for badminton, PONGORI for table tennis, OROKS/KOROK/DITA for hockey, AREX for floorball, MEGAFORM for school sports, OXELO for skating, and CSY PLASTIQUE for plastic equipment) with third-party international specialists (Mikasa, Molten, Cornilleau, Hummel, Gymnova, Dima). The unit also offers a suite of services — product personalization via screen printing, flocking, sublimation, tampography, and embroidery; professional assembly and installation; scheduled maintenance; repair; dedicated online club stores ('Club Boutique'); gift cards; and a free 24-hour quote service.

Revenue mechanics rest on volume-based, tier-priced B2B transactions with quote generation, account management, and public-sector-native payment rails (CB, Chorus, bank transfer, check, mandat administratif). The GTM is sales-led, combining self-serve e-commerce via decathlonpro.fr, dedicated inside-sales account management for larger institutional accounts, and Decathlon retail stores acting as partner pickup and support points. Pricing follows unit-based tiering with thresholds kicking in at 6, 12, or 16 units per product, plus bespoke quotation for larger volumes. There is no disclosed revenue, no standalone app, no public API, and geographic operations are formally scoped to France within Western Europe.
