Adidas will become Italy’s kit supplier starting from 2023, the FIGC announced.
The Azzurri will end their contract with Puma at the end of the year after reaching an agreement with Adidas.
“The Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio is proud to announce a long-term partnership with Adidas. Starting from January 2023, the Italian National Teams (men, women, youth, futsal, beach soccer and e-sports) will wear Adidas products,” a FIGC statement read.
“The announcement of our partnership with Adidas is a great source of pride for the FIGC. This collaboration represents a vital step in terms of the growth of our commercial appeal, while it will also strengthen the development process of our brand both in Italy and abroad,” said FIGC President Gabriele Gravina.
“The passion and enthusiasm that we have observed from Adidas are matched in equal measure by the FIGC in its work to develop all of the National Teams and Italian football at every level.”
Kasper Rørsted, CEO of Adidas, added: “We’re incredibly proud to announce this long-term partnership with the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio. We’re thrilled that one of the most successful international football teams is becoming part of our portfolio of international federations, joining other big hitters such as the DFB (Germany), RFEF (Spain), AFA (Argentina) and the RBFA (Belgium). We look forward to achieving great things together.”
