Filipinas ink 4-year partnership with sportswear brand Adidas

The Philippine national women's football team has forged a four-year partnership with prominent sportswear brand Adidas ahead of the squad's campaign in the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup this July.

The Philippine Football Federation and Adidas formalized the partnership on Thursday through a contract signing at the New World Hotel in Makati City where PFF president Mariano "Nonong" Araneta was among the attendees.

PFF general secretary Edwin Gastanes as well as team members Inna Palacios and Hali Long and Adidas Philippines General Manager Anthony Frangos were also in attendance to witness the landmark deal.

Aside from the World Cup, the Filipinas will also be supported by Adidas in the upcoming 32nd Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia in May; the Pinatar Cup this month, and the 2024 Paris Olympics Qualifiers in April among others.

"This is an incredibly significant partnership for the Philippine Women's National Football Team. We are honored to have adidas as our official kit supplier as we prepare to compete at the Philippines' maiden FIFA World Cup in six months' time," said team manager Jefferson Cheng.

"We thank adidas for its inclusive support for the beautiful game all over the world, for sponsoring the FIFA Women's World Cup, and now for giving its full support to the Philippines' women's teams, not just to our Senior Team bound for the World Cup but also to our youth teams participating in various international tournaments in the coming months."
