Adidas Becomes Official Outfitter of Philippine Women's National Football Team
The Philippine women's national football team has announced that the global sportswear giant Adidas would be their official outfitter for the next four years.
This pertains to both the senior team and the youth teams that are competing in the FIFA Women's World Cup.
During a meeting at the New World Makati Hotel in the Philippines, an agreement formalising the partnership was signed by Philippine Football Federation secretary-general Ed Gastanes and Adidas Philippines general manager Anthony Frangos.
In a press release, Adidas representative Anthony Frangos emphasized his company's delight at partnering with the Philippine women's national football team.
Frangos was quoted by local media as saying, “In everything we do as a brand, we have always drawn inspiration from the saying ‘Impossible is nothing,’ and it is very clear how the national women’s football team has also brought this to life."
Manager of the Philippine national team, Jeff Cheng, also appeared and voiced his appreciation to Adidas for providing the team's uniforms. To him, this alliance represents a huge step forward for the Philippine women's national football team as they prepare to compete in the FIFA World Cup for the first time.
In May, right before the Southeast Asian Games, the Philippine national team will unveil their official kit for their upcoming campaign in the FIFA Women's World Cup. However, beginning with next week's Pinatar Cup in Spain, the team will wear Adidas jerseys.
