Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival in January this year, Al-Nassr has announced Nike as its new kit manufacturer.
In a post made by the club’s official Twitter account on Sunday, it stated, “We are delighted to announce Nike, as our official kit supplier for the 2023-24 season.
“This deal will be activated starting from AlNassr Japan Tour at the end of July.”
At the age of 38, football superstar Ronaldo has a lifetime deal with Nike. He is currently under a 10-year contract with the company, which is valued at £147 million.
Al-Nassr, Ronaldo’s team, has made the switch from Duneus, an Arabic sports brand, to Nike as their new kit manufacturer. This marks the team’s third partnership with Nike, having previously collaborated with them from 1997 to 2001 and from 2010 to 2012.
Although the manufacturer has changed, the visual design of the kit is not expected to undergo significant alterations, as Duneus drew inspiration from Nike’s style for the current design.
In line with the increasing international profile of the Saudi pro league, another team, Al-Hilal, has also recently switched to a renowned sportswear brand, Puma, on a five-year contract.
