Beginning in 2027, adidas will become the official technical partner of the Croatian Football Federation, replacing Nike, which had supplied the national team’s kits for more than two decades. The agreement marks one of the most significant commercial partnerships in Croatian sport in recent years.
The new deal will see adidas provide match kits, training apparel and equipment for all Croatian national teams, from the senior men’s and women’s squads to youth selections and other representative teams.
HNS President Marijan Kustić described the agreement as a major milestone for Croatian football, highlighting adidas’ global reputation and long-standing association with some of the world’s most successful national teams and clubs.
He said the partnership reflects the continued international growth and recognition of Croatian football.
Adidas also welcomed the agreement, noting Croatia’s remarkable football tradition and consistent success on the global stage. Despite a population of fewer than four million people, Croatia has established itself as one of international football’s leading nations, finishing runners-up at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, third at the 2022 World Cup, and regularly competing in the latter stages of major international tournaments.
The partnership comes at a time when Croatian football continues to produce world-class talent, with players such as Luka Modrić, Joško Gvardiol, Mateo Kovačić and a new generation of emerging stars maintaining the country’s reputation as one of football’s most efficient talent developers.
