Mexico’s largest soccer team, Club America, has signed a multi-year partnership with Adidas AG, bringing its contract with Nike Inc. to an end as of this summer.

The collaboration will start in July in time for the 2025-2026 soccer season, the companies said in a joint statement in which no figures were mentioned. A person familiar with the situation said Adidas’ contract with America more than doubles the amount of Nike’s previous deal.
