However, as there was already a vote that decided that Nike would become Uruguay's jersey supplier, Ignacio Alonso from Uruguay's football federation said that "we (the Executive Council) will pass this to the area of legal advisers and they will tell us what we must demand to ratify the intention of the note presented by Tenfield to match the offer Nike." More is expected to follow in the coming days.

The German company Puma will be the supplier of Uruguay's shirt until 31 December 2016, while on the first day of 2017 the situation will change as the Uruguayan Football Federation will get the right back to look for a new shirt supplier. This right currently belongs to Tenfield, who granted the concession to Puma.
Nike offers the Uruguayan football federation 24 million USD for seven years, while it's reported that Puma just offers 5 million USD for seven years. To decide whether Nike or Puma will become Uruguay's new jersey supplier, there will be a vote tonight with 19 votes, from which 16 belong to the first division clubs who will also get a share from the money received from the deal.
