Poland’s Ekstraklasa signs Adidas deal

Poland’s top football division, the Ekstraklasa, has agreed a two-year deal with German sportswear and equipment giant Adidas.

Effective from the beginning of the 2014-15 season, Adidas will be the official and sole supplier of footballs for the Ekstraklasa.

Adidas and the Ekstraklasa will collaborate on joint marketing activities, primarily to drive sales of Brazuca balls. Ekstraklasa clubs will also be provided with the match balls for training purposes.

The Brazuca, which is the official ball of the 2014 Fifa World Cup, will be on sale from June 10 in two versions – the official match ball and its replica.
