The Argentine Football Association has announced a 14-year contract extension with German sportswear giant adidas as the official outfitter of Argentina’s national teams, extending their partnership until 2038.
adidas has thus extended by 14 years its long running agreement with the AFA to outfit the football league’s men’s, women’s, and junior teams until 2038.
The announcement was made ahead of Wednesday’s Copa América 2024 match against Chile, which Argentina won 1-0.
The AFA comprises 28 teams in its primary, international-competing division, 38 teams competing at a national level, and three additional club divisions. adidas and the AFA have maintained an association since the 1970s. However, the initial agreement as official outfitter was executed in 2001, and extended in 2011.
“We are delighted to forge a new partnership with adidas until 2038. Our partnership spans several decades, and this new long-term commitment allows us, as an organization, to drive the success of our teams and invest in our communities,” AFA president Claudio Tapia stated. “We are proud of the recent successes we have shared, but we will continue to focus on the growth of our game and performance on the field. In this sense, and in many more, adidas is the perfect partner for us.”
Argentina is currently number one in FIFA’s World Rankings.
