- Adidas Dominance: Adidas now outfits 22 of the 52 UEFA national teams, solidifying its control over the European kit market.
- UEFA Kit Assistance Scheme: Adidas took over the UEFA Kit Assistance Scheme from Erreà, leading to the introduction of kits for nine additional national teams.
- Future Changes: While Turkey, Poland, and Croatia will join Adidas, Germany and Wales will be leaving, causing a massive shake-up in the Adidas UEFA national team lineup.
We have a major overview of the European international kit landscape. Following Friday's UEFA deal, Adidas now makes kits for an impressive 22 of the 52 UEFA national teams.

From 2027 (Germany & Wales to Leave; Poland, Turkey & Croatia to Join).
This dominance of Adidas UEFA national teams is perfectly visualized in our map graphic. The sudden surge in the total number of Adidas UEFA national teams is directly linked to the brand taking over the UEFA Kit Assistance Scheme from Erreà. Through this initiative, kits have just been introduced for Andorra, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Malta, and San Marino (Belarus not yet).
While the brand currently controls the European kit market, the exact lineup of Adidas UEFA national teams is set to experience a massive shake-up over the coming years. The impressive roster of Adidas UEFA national teams will soon see some high-profile additions, as both Turkey and Poland are reportedly set to join the brand. Furthermore, it is already confirmed that Croatia will officially become one of the new Adidas UEFA national teams following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup.
However, the expanding list of Adidas UEFA national teams will also suffer some significant losses. Wales will be leaving the brand to sign a new deal with Sudu. Most notably, the historic flagship member of all Adidas UEFA national teams, Germany, will famously end its long-standing partnership to join Nike at the start of 2027.
