PAPHOS, Cyprus & OVERLAND PARK, Kan., USA — July 13, 2026
Rehband, a global leader in premium knee sleeves and performance supports, and Monster Games today announced a new partnership naming Rehband The Official Knee Sleeve of Monster Games.
The partnership brings together two organizations committed to helping athletes perform at their highest level, push beyond their limits and realize their full potential. Rehband will support the Monster Games athlete community with performance-driven knee sleeves designed for the demanding combination of strength, speed, endurance and highintensity movement found in functional fitness competition.
“Monster Games has built an athlete-first competition that reflects the preparation, determination and resilience required to succeed in functional fitness. Those values align naturally with Rehband. We are proud to become The Official Knee Sleeve of Monster Games and support athletes as they pursue their best performance on the competition floor.”
said Hagen Heublein, Head of Global Business Development at Rehband.
The partnership will be highlighted during the 2026 1st Phorm Monster Games Championship, scheduled for July 24–26 at the Overland Park Convention Center in Overland Park, Kansas.
Athletes earn the opportunity to compete at the championship through the Monster Games online qualifier. The competition features divisions for a broad range of experience and performance levels, creating a championship environment in which developing competitors and elite athletes can test their fitness.
Functional fitness challenges athletes through a constantly varied combination of squatting, Olympic lifting, running, jumping, gymnastics and other high-intensity movements. Rehband knee sleeves are anatomically designed to provide a secure fit, joint warmth, stability and consistent support without restricting the movement athletes need during training and competition.
“Rehband is one of the most recognized and respected names in knee sleeves, making this partnership a strong fit for the Monster Games community. Our athletes train hard to earn their place on the competition floor, and we are excited to welcome a partner that understands the demands of the sport and is committed to helping athletes perform at their best.”
said Jason Ansley, Founder and Event Director of Monster Games.
The Monster Games partnership builds upon Rehband’s growing commitment to functional fitness. Rehband also serves as The Official Knee Sleeve of the World Fitness Project, further connecting the brand with leading athletes and competitions shaping the future of the sport.
“Functional fitness athletes expect their equipment to perform under demanding conditions. Our goal is to give athletes confidence in every movement—from heavy lifts to high-volume workouts—so they can remain focused on their performance. Our partnerships with Monster Games and the World Fitness Project demonstrate our commitment to the athletes, events and communities advancing functional fitness around the world.”
Added Hagen Heublein.
Through its designation as The Official Knee Sleeve of Monster Games, Rehband continues to expand its presence within the United States while strengthening its position as a global performance brand trusted by athletes across functional fitness, weightlifting, powerlifting, endurance and team sports.
The partnership will be activated throughout the Monster Games Championship and across Rehband and Monster Games digital channels.
