Al-Nassr Football Club announces partnership with Nike as new kit manufacturer
Al-Nassr Football Club, led by renowned player Cristiano Ronaldo, has officially severed ties with Arabic giants Duneus and forged a new partnership with sportswear giant Nike. This marks the team’s third collaboration with Nike, following their previous stints together from 1997 to 2001 and 2010 to 2012.
The decision to switch kit manufacturers is expected to bring about a change in the team’s visual identity. However, fans need not worry about any drastic alterations, as Duneus had already incorporated elements inspired by Nike’s renowned style into their current kit design. Thus, while the manufacturer may have changed, the team’s iconic aesthetic will likely remain intact.
In addition to Al-Nassr’s significant move, Al-Hilal, another prominent Saudi professional league team, has also recently undergone a transformation in their kit sponsorship. The team has inked a lucrative five-year contract with the well-established sportswear brand Puma. This development reflects the growing international prominence of the Saudi Arabian league.
As Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, two of Saudi Arabia’s most esteemed football clubs, align themselves with globally recognized sportswear brands, the region’s footballing landscape continues to evolve. The strategic partnerships with Nike and Puma highlight the ambition of these clubs to enhance their global appeal and make their mark on the international stage. Football enthusiasts and fans worldwide eagerly await the debut of these new kits, which symbolize the clubs’ determination to achieve greatness both domestically and internationally.
