Colombian Football Federation extends Adidas deal

The Colombian Football Federation (FCF) has extended its partnership with Adidas through to 2022.

The relationship between the German sportswear giant and the FCF first began in 2011, and Adidas will now continue to supply kit for Colombia’s national teams through to the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.

Federico Sarmiento, chief executive of Adidas Colombia, said: “This agreement has two factors: the first is the commitment of the brand to support Colombian talent and to project players to the elite of world sport. The second corresponds to Adidas’ firm belief in the project of the federation which has had a positive effect on the appearance of the national teams at major tournaments.”

Colombia’s men’s national team is currently positioned sixth in Fifa’s world rankings.
