Brazil 2018 World Cup Team Boot Battle
Making the boots for 16 of the 23 nominated players (69.6 %), Nike dominates the battle for Brazil's 2018 World Cup team. Adidas makes the soccer cleats for the rest of all players (7), while no other brand managed to sign a Brazil player.
Compared to the 2014 World Cup, there is much less brand variety in Brazil's 2018 World Cup squad in terms of boots. Four years ago, 5 different brands supplied Brazil's players with their football boots (Nike (13), Adidas (7), Puma (1), Mizuno (1), Pantofola dOro (1).
Brazil's expected stating line-up is also dominated by the Swoosh.
