“Our extension with adidas is a major statement by an internationally respected brand that MLS is increasing in value and that our commitments to stadium construction, strategic expansion, player development and improvement in the overall quality of play are paying dividends,” said MLS commissioner Don Garber.
“We share a long-term vision with MLS to develop the game and are excited to foster the next generation of American soccer stars,” added adidas America president Patrik Nilsson.
Under the deal, the sportswear brand will now make significant investments in youth development in addition to retaining its official athletic sponsor and licensed product supplier titles.
