- Nike Deal Limited: Uruguay's Nike kit deal is solely for the 2024 Copa America.
- New Tender: The Uruguayan Football Association will launch a new kit tender for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and tournament.
- Multiple Brands in 2024: Uruguay could have three different kit brands in 2024: in-house, Nike, and another brand after Copa America.
In the 2024 Copa America, Uruguay will wear Nike football kits. However, after the tournament, there are huge chances that Uruguay will have another kit brand again.
The Nike deal is only valid for the 2024 Copa America
Nike Uruguay Deal Exclusive For 2024 Copa America
The contract of the Uruguayan Football Federation with Puma expired at the end of 2023 - Uruguay wore in-house kits for the first matches of 2024 (made by local brand MGR). For the upcoming Copa America, the federation has signed a short-term contract with Nike. However, Nike will only provide kits for the tournament and will not become the long-term official sponsor of the association.
The Uruguay Football Association will launch a new kit tender for the remaining 2026 World Cup qualifiers matches and the 2026 World Cup itself, according to a report of the local newspaper Ovación and the president of the Uruguayan Football Association, Ignacio Alonso.

Nike is, of course, not ruled out to become Uruguay's long-term kit maker, but every other brand also has the chance to sign the Uruguay national football team.
The Copa America will take place from June 20 to July 14 in the United States. Uruguay will face the USA, Bolivia and Panama in the group stage.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
