The German Football Association (DFB) announced that American sportswear giant Nike would become its official supplier from 2027 onwards, ending a decades-long partnership with German firm Adidas.
The DFB said on Thursday Nike would supply all national teams from 2027 to 2034, having made the best financial offer.
“The coming partnership allows the DFB for the next decade to work on central tasks with a view to developing football in Germany,” said DFB President Bernd Neuendorf, in a statement.
