|25th January 2024The FIFA World Cup Winners wore kits made by Adidas Six Times:

  1. Argentina (1978)
  2. West Germany (1990)
  3. France (1998)
  4. Spain (2010)
  5. Germany (2014)
  6. Argentina (2022)

Adidas kits have been a common sight on World Cup champions throughout history.

  • Interestingly, Adidas wasn’t even present at the first World Cup tournaments. They entered the scene in 1970s, supplying kits to 11 out of the 16 teams that year.
  • Since then, Adidas has sponsored more World Cup teams than any other brand, and their kits have graced the podium an impressive six times. This puts them ahead of competitors like Nike (with 2 wins) and Puma (with 1 win).
  • The most recent Adidas-clad champion was Argentina in 2022, marking their second victory in Adidas threads.
  • It’s also worth noting that Adidas provides the official match ball for the World Cup, further solidifying their presence in the world’s biggest football tournament.

So, while other brands are making their mark, Adidas remains a dominant force in World Cup apparel, both for participating teams and for champions.
