Liverpool Football Club has entered a new multi-year partnership with Adidas, effective from August 1, 2025, marking the return of Adidas as the club’s official kit supplier.

 

This deal, which ends the current Nike contract, is estimated to be worth between £60-70 million annually, showcasing a significant financial upgrade. The partnership has sparked enthusiasm among fans and club officials alike, not only for the financial benefits but also for the return to a brand synonymous with football heritage. The new kits for the upcoming season, including a much-anticipated green third kit, have already been revealed, adding to the excitement surrounding this historic collaboration.

This move ends Liverpool’s five-year stint with Nike, which began in 2020 and reportedly brought in over £60 million per season through a combination of a base fee and merchandise royalties.

The new Adidas agreement is said to be worth more than £60 million annually, potentially exceeding £300 million over its reported five-year duration, depending on performance incentives and global sales. Fans are already buzzing about the leaked designs for the 2025-26 kits, which promise a nostalgic nod to the 1980s and 1990s, featuring the Adidas trefoil logo and classic three-stripe detailing.

For supporters, this partnership not only signals a return to a cherished aesthetic but also underscores the club’s strong commercial trajectory as they compete at the top of the Premier League and beyond.

The Ghana Black Queens delivered a dominant performance by thrashing Russia 4-0 in their Matchday 2 fixture at the 2026 Pink Ladies Cup in the United Arab Emirates (held at venues like Al Hamriya Sports Club Stadium).

This follows their opening 4-0 win over Hong Kong, making it back-to-back clean-sheet victories with 8 goals scored and none conceded so far. The result positions Ghana at the top of the four-nation tournament table involving Ghana, Russia, Hong Kong, and Tanzania, as they prepare for the WAFCON 2026 qualifiers.

Match Highlights

    • Stella Nyamekye opened the scoring early in the 8th minute with a well-taken finish.
    • Doris Boaduwaa added a brace (goals in the 17th and 33rd minutes, including one described as a super finish).
    • Patience Ajegipina Zakaria (Ampem Darkoa Ladies striker, on debut form from the first game too) sealed it with the fourth in the 88th minute.

The Black Queens showed strong composure, high pressing, and clinical attacking under head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren, who reportedly called this one of the best performances he’s seen from the team since taking charge.

This comes amid some reported tensions in the region (mentioned in Dubai context), but the team stayed focused and impressed. The Queens will take on Tanzania on Friday, March 6, 2026, in their final group game.
