The timing of the deal cements adidas’s unique sponsorship policy; we stand by our long-standing partners, especially when it is important. Together with the DFB, in the coming years we will do our utmost to further develop German football at every level, from the youth sector to the national team of both men and women. With the start of the DFB academy and the hopefully successful application to host the EURO 2024 competition, we have two interesting and innovative projects to work towards and we are happy to contribute our expertise.
