Eintracht Frankfurt, one of Germany's most prestigious football clubs, is set to begin a significant partnership with Adidas starting in the 2025/26 season. This collaboration marks a reunion, as Adidas previously outfitted the club during two notable periods in the past. The new partnership, which spans five years, will cover not only the professional men’s and women’s teams but also the youth and amateur athletes within Eintracht Frankfurt e.V., showcasing Adidas’s iconic three stripes once again.
A Historical Reconnection
This partnership is particularly meaningful given the historical connection between Eintracht Frankfurt and Adidas. The club previously donned Adidas kits between 1974 and 1987, a period during which it achieved notable successes including three DFB-Pokal victories. This historical synergy is seen as a good omen by fans and club officials alike, suggesting a return to form and fortune under the Adidas banner.
Enhancing Competitive Edge
Axel Hellmann, CEO of Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership's potential to enhance the club’s competitiveness both nationally and internationally. Hellmann highlighted the comprehensive nature of the collaboration, which will leverage Adidas's global sports marketing expertise to benefit every level of the club’s extensive sports programming.
Expanding Regional Influence and Fan Engagement
Marina Moguš, Managing Director of Adidas in Central Europe, emphasized the strategic intent behind choosing Eintracht Frankfurt for this partnership. The club's unique regional and international appeal makes it an ideal candidate for Adidas to implement its sportswear innovations and engage with a passionate fan base. Starting from the 2025/26 season, Adidas aims to enhance the sporting experience for fans and athletes alike by bringing its latest advancements in sports technology and apparel to the club.
A Bright Future in Sports Innovation
The partnership is viewed as a stepping stone towards a new chapter in Frankfurt sports, promising to invigorate the local and regional sports scene with new energy and innovation. Both Eintracht Frankfurt and Adidas are looking forward to the opportunities this partnership will bring, aiming to stir more excitement among fans and further elevate the club's profile on a global stage.
