The German Football Association's decision to ditch supplier Adidas for Nike is blasted by politicians.
The German Football Association's decision to switch the supplier of the national team's kit away from Adidas has been blasted by politicians.Economy Minister Robert Habeck said he would have "liked a bit more local patriotism", while Health Minister Karl Lauterbach called the decision "wrong".Adidas has supplied the kit for the German national football team for more than 70 years.
The deal, announced on Thursday, was greeted with dismay by German politicians on the left and right. "The success story began in 1954 with the unforgettable World Cup victory, which gave our country self-confidence again. That's why it's wrong, a shame and also incomprehensible that this story should end now."
However, it said the grassroots of German football, with "more than 24,000 football clubs, 2.2 million active players, the numerous volunteers and almost 55,000 referees", is financed by the DFB.
