Nike had been Portugal's kit supplier since 1997 and their star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, remains under contract with the American sportswear giants. Portugal have never had their kits supplied by anyone else while the Al-Nassr star has played for them.

WHAT PUMA SAID

Puma CEO Arne Freundt said: “Associating with a top national team was one of our priorities in soccer and I am very excited to have a team as popular as Portugal in the PUMA Family. Given the large number of Selecao fans around the world and the great potential of the new generation of players, we are looking forward to the next major tournaments, such as the 2026 World Cup.”
