Nike and U.S. Soccer Federation revealed on Friday a partnership renewal which keeps the popular brand as the uniform provider for the men’s and women’s United States teams at all level for 9 more years.
U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati expressed his joy over the new agreement.
“Nike has been an outstanding partner and shares our long-term vision for progress, innovation, and player development” said Gulati. “We have enjoyed a tremendous history together that began as we both looked to elevate soccer in this country to new heights, and we look forward to building on our progress.”
“Nike is extremely proud to continue our longstanding partnership with U.S. Soccer,” said Nike Brand President Trevor Edwards. “The partnership reinforces Nike’s leadership in soccer, as we continue to deliver game-changing innovations on the pitch and share the same vision to further grow the sport as a whole in the U.S.”
The relationship between the two entities began in 1975.
