Phoenix Rising FC, the American professional soccer team, announced it had secured a six-year partnership with Adidas, which will serve as the club’s official outfitter through the 2026 season.
“The 2021 season is set to be an exciting year for Phoenix Rising,” said Rising FC GM Bobby Dulle. “Partnering with the No. 1 soccer brand in the world will help us elevate our footprint in the community and grow the game at the youth and academy levels in Arizona.”
Adidas will outfit all Rising players, coaches, staff, and youth players. Rising’s line of Adidas kits will be dropped prior to the start of the 2021 USL Championship season. The league is targeting a start date on or around Saturday, May 1.
“Partnering with the Phoenix Rising brand is a strategic alliance for us,” said Adidas soccer director Frank Battle. “We have long admired the organization’s professional and progressive core values that uniquely complement our own. Collectively, we will see our mutual ambitions push boundaries through collaborations both on and off the field. Equally, as such, we are excited to bring innovative Adidas soccer products to all athletes and fans within the Phoenix Rising community.”
Adidas is the official kit supplier for clubs including La Liga’s Real Madrid, English Premier League’s Manchester United, Serie A’s Juventus, Liga MX’s Tigres and the Major League Soccer. The national teams of Germany, Argentina and Mexico are also partnered with Adidas.
