EXCLUSIVE: Paulo Dybala to Become Face of Next-Gen Adidas Copa 19
Jul 7, 2018, by Chris
In early June 2018, we exclusively revealed that Toni Kroos will ditch his Adidas 11pro boots to become the face of the Adidas Copa 19 football boot. Now we have recived information that Paulo Dybala is set to headline the laceless version of the Adidas Copa, the all-new Adidas Copa 19+.
Paulo Dybala has been spotted wearing the completely new Adidas Copa 19+ football boot in May 2018. He is currently wearing the Adidas Glitch football boot, so it comes by quite surprise that the Argentinian superstar will become a face of the next-generation Adidas Copa football boot.
Paulo Dybala to Become Face of Laceless Adidas Copa Boot - Toni Kroos Will Hadline the Laces Version
Since Adidas launched the Copa silo in 2015, the boot has not received any high-profile on-pitch support. However, this is set to change with the release of the Adidas Copa 19 in December 2018, with Toni Kroos and Paulo Dybala to headline the silo. The Adidas Copa 19 could become a real competitor for the Nike Tiempo Legend football boot.
Stay tuned for more details about Dybala's possible switch to the Adidas Copa 19 soccer cleat.

FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.

Grêmio Announce Pitaco as New Front-of-Shirt Sponsor
Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense have officially announced Pitaco as their new principal front-of-shirt sponsor. The three-year agreement sees the Brazilian sports platform take over the prime central chest position on the club's New Balance jerseys. This long-awaited deal ends a vacancy of roughly ten months for the Tricolor Gaúcho's main shirt sponsor slot following the early termination of their previous deal with Alfa Bet in late 2025.
Originally established as a fantasy sports company before expanding into regulated sports betting under the international Draftea group, Pitaco will feature across Grêmio's kits through 2029. The partnership is reportedly valued between 40 million and 46 million Brazilian Real per year (around 8 million USD/year) , totaling around 140 million Real across the entire three-year period, placing Grêmio's uniform among the five most valuable commercial shirts in Brazilian football.
The white Pitaco logo and wordmark sit directly across the middle of the iconic blue, black, and white striped kit, joining existing partners such as Banrisul, Coral, and Havan. Grêmio are scheduled to debut the newly branded shirts immediately in upcoming Campeonato Brasileiro matches.
