Costa Rica to Leave Adidas for Umbro in 2027

Costa Rica's national football team is set for a major manufacturer switch. According to Costa Rican media La Nácion, the Federación Costarricense de Fútbol (FCRF) will not renew its partnership with Adidas and is instead set to sign with Umbro starting on January 1, 2027.

Costa Rica to Sign Umbro Kit Deal From 2027

Adidas originally signed a four-year deal with Los Ticos that began on January 1, 2023, and runs through December 31, 2026. However, with sales projections falling short of initial expectations, the Three Stripes reportedly offered reduced financial terms for a renewal. Dissatisfied with the proposal, the Costa Rican federation explored alternative options and quickly found common ground with Umbro, who already holds a strong local presence through their partnership with Liga Deportiva Alajuelense.

While other brands were briefly considered, negotiations with Umbro are reported to be sealed. The British brand is poised to supply match kits, training gear, and lifestyle wear for all Costa Rican national teams from the start of 2027, with the first official Umbro Costa Rica shirts expected to be unveiled in January 2027.
