Adidas is immediately suspending its partnership with the Russian Football Union following the country’s invasion of Ukraine, Bloomberg reports. The German brand — which is Europe’s largest sportswear manufacturer — has worked with the football union since 2008, providing official sportswear for both the men’s and women’s national teams.
Groups like FIFA and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) join Adidas in censuring Russia. According to Bloomberg, the three organizations decided on February 28 that all Russian teams, regardless of national or club status, would be suspended from participating in both FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice.
