- New Sponsor: Vodafone will replace 1&1 Ionos as Dortmund's front-of-shirt sponsor starting in the 2025-26 season.
- Contract Details: The partnership between Dortmund and Vodafone is set to last for five seasons, concluding in 2030.

Update: Confirming previous leaks, Dortmund has officially announced a new partnership with Vodafone starting from the 2025-26 season, replacing 1&1 Ionos as the front-of-shirt sponsor. The agreement will run until 2030.
1&1 Ionos has been BVB's sponsor since the 2020-21 season, and the upcoming 2024-25 season is the last under the current contract. Negotiations between 1&1 Ionos and BVB have been quite difficult.
Vodafone Becomes the New Front-of-Shirt Sponsor for Dortmund From the 2025-26 Season
Beginning with the 2025-26 season, Vodafone will become Dortmund's new FOS sponsor. The deal between the two parties will span five seasons, concluding in 2030.
In the announcement video, Dortmund also revealed a glimpse of their new 2025-26 home kit, in which the Vodafone logo appears in a monochrome variant to match the overall design.
Currently, 1&1 Ionos serves as Dortmund’s front-of-shirt sponsor. The tech and telecommunications brand has been featured on BVB shirts since the 2020-21 season, making 2024-25 the fifth and likely final season under the current deal.
It’s unclear whether 1&1 will remain involved in another capacity or exit the club partnership entirely.

South Africa Debut Silver Adidas Climacool Cooling Jacket At 2026 World Cup
South Africa debuted the new Adidas Climacool cooling jacket in a striking silver colorway at the 2026 World Cup. The look evoked memories of spacesuits.
The Adidas Climacool system is engineered specifically to lower core body temperature and improve heat tolerance in hot and humid conditions - exactly the kind of environment teams face at a summer World Cup in the USA and Mexico. The system consists of three components: a cooling vest, jacket and overshoe, with the vest worn over the player's jersey containing a specialised gel that is frozen before use and slowly thaws to keep players cool as they prepare to take the pitch.
FIFA Orders Egypt to Remove 7 Stars From 2026 World Cup Kit And Change Numbers Color
FIFA has instructed the Egyptian Football Association to remove the seven stars from their 2026 World Cup kit. The stars, which represent Egypt's record seven Africa Cup of Nations victories, violate FIFA's strict equipment regulations for the tournament. Under these rules, stars displayed on national team jerseys at the World Cup are exclusively reserved for nations that have won the FIFA World Cup.
In addition to the removal of the stars, FIFA has directed Egypt to change the color of the player names and numbers on their shirts. The original design featured gold lettering, which FIFA deemed insufficient for broadcast visibility, requiring the team to switch to white text instead.
