With over 35 years of collaboration, this alliance has been characterized by designs that pay tribute to the history, culture, and fans of Real Madrid.

Among the most celebrated designs are the 2011/2012 season kit with golden details, reflecting the club’s royal status during a historic La Liga season, or the legendary Centenary jersey from the 2001/2002 season: a masterpiece of pristine white, immortalized by Zidane’s winning goal in the Champions League final.
Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, stated: “This agreement we seal today is the most important in the history of football. The strategic alliance between Real Madrid and adidas has helped us during these three decades to experience one of the most wonderful periods in our history.

I am extremely proud that the three stripes continue to be part of this extraordinary success story. We look forward to continuing to create the best products for the team, helping them perform at the highest level, and offering fans around the world attractive lifestyle products that allow them to show their passion and support for the club, both in the stadiums and on the streets.”
