Adidas Czechia Kit Deal
The agreement brings an end to a 33-year relationship with Puma, who had outfitted the Czech national team uninterrupted since 1994 following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
The departure from Puma represents a massive historical break for Czechia. Ever since the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, Puma has served as the sole kit manufacturer for the independent Czech national team (the first match with Puma kits was played in May 1994).

Indeed, Czechoslovakia famously wore the 3 stripes.
The complete Adidas Czechia collection - including match kits, training gear, and lifestyle wear - is scheduled for an official launch on September 7, 2026. The men's senior team will debut the new home kit in the UEFA Nations League against Croatia on September 26, 2026, followed by the away kit debut against Spain on 3 October, 2026.
