The announced was revealed on Friday, just before the Philippines faces Australia in the tournament opener in Perth.

With the hosts being home to one of the largest Filipino communities overseas, and the region being one of the vibrant ones during the historic run of the Filipinas in the 2023 edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup, it was appropriate for adidas to find a means to have such communities own the chance to proudly wear the colors of the motherland in such a global stage.

The royal blue home kit symbolizes strength and rhythm on the pitch, while the white away kit represents renewal and a new chapter for Philippine football. Both designs are accented with bold red panels, gold details, and a gold sun on the back—a tribute to the Filipinas’ achievements and the nation they represent.

Crafted with adidas AEROREADY technology, the jerseys are designed to keep players and fans dry and comfortable, whether competing in the tournament or cheering from the stands. With the kits now available in Australia and New Zealand, adidas strengthens its commitment to advancing women’s football and supporting the Filipinas’ growing global community of supporters.

Fans based in the region can now purchase these home and away kits through adidas.com, while those who want to buy the home kit in a physical store can do so at Rebel Australia stores. Further details are set to be forthcoming with regards to its availability in Stadium stores.

As announced previously, the Filipinas kits are available for purchase at the adidas stores and at the adidas Football branch atop MOA Sky, as well as in BOOTCAMP.

adidas reveals new Filipinas kits

Filipinas x adidas

Fresh from fellow German brand PUMA revealing its new kits for the Philippine Football Federation, adidas has done the same for the team it supports, the Filipinas.

Released in time for the SEA Games later this month and the upcoming AFC Asian Cup in Australia a few months later, these new kits are designed to reflect the strength, spirit, and pride of the nation’s top female footballers.

The home kit is in royal blue, symbolizes the team’s power and rhythm on the pitch, while the away kit is in white, and represents renewal and purity, marking a new chapter in the Filipinas’ journey.

Present in both kits are bold red side panels for competitive fire, gold crests and stripes to honor their achievements, and a gold sun on the back—a tribute to the light and inspiration the team brings to fans and future athletes.

Each kit is crafted with adidas' lightweight AEROREADY technology, the kits have been specifically engineered to keep players dry, focused, and confident in every match.

In line with the announcement, Philippine Football Federation president John Gutierrez shares, "This partnership with adidas is a game-changer for Philippine football. The Filipinas have shown the world what our athletes are capable of, and with adidas’ support, we’re building the infrastructure and culture to ensure that football continues to thrive—from grassroots to the global stage."

From their end, adidas Philippines General Manager Dave Sexton says, "Football has always been part of adidas’ DNA. With the Filipinas inspiring a new generation and the sport gaining momentum nationwide, we’re investing in spaces and experiences that bring the football community together. The new kits, and our first football-only store, are all part of our commitment to growing the game in the Philippines."

In addition, fans would be able to directly help the PFF with their grassroots development activities, with a portion of the proceeds going towards nurturing the next generation of Filipina footballers.

The official unveiling of these kits coincided with the opening of the first-ever adidas Football store in Southeast Asia.  Located adjacent to the MOA Sky football facility atop the SM Mall of Asia, it is stocked with the merchandise football fans are seeking, from the kits of your favorite adidas-supported clubs/teams, in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to cleats, and even lifestyle wear and accessories.

One can also have their kits customized at the store, and whilst waiting, there is a fun kicking area to test out those new kicks.

adidas reveals Predator 25 targeting the Modern Goalscorer

c/o adidas

adidas has revealed its latest version of their iconic Predator line of football shoes, one that you can already avail at your favorite place to purchase kicks.

Called the Predator 25, it blends archival color nods and design features with the latest technology tailored towards the new generation of footballers.

What immediately stands out is its vibrant red colorway, which is often associated with its classic tongue decorating the entire upper portion of the boot, highlighting its iconic DNA.

The wavy black lines weaving through its three stripes on the medial and lateral sides of the boot is a true homage to one of its predecessors, the Predator Accelerator from 1998. Adding to the aesthetic is the "Predator" branding that is displayed on the side of the heel and on the tongue.

On the technological aspect, adidas tweaked the upper construction for the Predator 25, integrating an upgraded STRIKESKIN that has been re-engineered in order to enhance the grip between the boot and the ball through higher and longer quantities of rubber elements on the strike zone of the boot, as well as HYBRIDTOUCH 2.0 applied across the upper of the boot with less layers to reduce break-in time and provide a more moulded fit. At the same time, this feature would provide additional cushioning in key areas for comfort and a soft touch on the ball.

CONTROLFLAME 2.0, which is a lightweight soleplate that supports traction, acceleration, and rapid rotational movement of players through full-length tooling and external heel counter, returns after being initially introduced a year ago.

Also being included is the fold over tongue, which has been refreshed to enhance striking made possible through new rubber elements enabling improvements in touch and feel, and protection through an additional layer of foam.

In unveiling the Predator 25, adidas GM for Football Sam Handy says, "The Predator franchise has always been based on pushing the boundaries of boot design – starting with a product that fundamentally altered the landscape of the game. Last year we revisited the archive to reconnect the tongue with a new generation of player. For Predator 25 we focus on adding more character via an adapted visual story that hints at - and reskins - beloved aspects of earlier icons. Under the hood, we have tweaked and upgraded the existing performance technologies, to create something really special for 2025."

One of adidas' many ambassadors has been tapped to spread the gospel of the latest Predator.

Arsenal and England sensation Alessia Russo shares her thoughts about the boot: "For me, the Predator boot is about being bold and making a statement on the pitch – from how it supports your goals to how iconic its design is. The tongue, which is hands down my favourite thing about it, is even better on this one, and the colourway is something else – I’m buzzing to play in it this year and see what I can do in front of goal."

Expect the big names of the sport to be toting these kicks, from the likes of Jude Bellingham and Pedri, to the best female footballer in the world, Aitana Bonmati.

The Predator 25 comes with laced and laceless versions, as well as a classic laced with a fold over tongue.

At prices starting at PhP 13,000, football enthusiasts will be able to purchase these kicks starting January 16 at adidas outlets and selected retailers, or one can purchase them directly at adidas.com.ph.

First revealed during Y-3's Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 last June 21st, the collection includes an On-Pitch offer and Culturewear, highlighted by hand-painted flame graphics which symbolizing mystic power and strength, which serves as a base for the national football team's enduring dynamism.

From a childhood dream to a possibility: Nico Bolzico’s football experience of a lifetime at the Premier League pitch

Nico Bolzico

Football is undoubtedly the most popular and beloved sport in the world, and for good reason. From showing the most passionate sides of nations to molding the next generation of athletes, the sport is home to the most enthusiastic of fans who live and breathe for the thrill of it all.

That’s why, just weeks away from the 2024 Copa América and UEFA Euro 2024 Championships and coinciding with the comeback of the iconic F50, adidas, known for providing unparalleled football moments, gave away the experience of a lifetime to some of the biggest football enthusiasts, including Nico Bolzico.

While many will remember Bolzico’s 2022 FIFA World Cup adventure as he witnessed his home country Argentina claim victory, what is not as well known is his extensive love for football. As a child, Bolzico was already a stadium mainstay, watching games with his dad. He also played first division in the United Football League – three years before the Philippines Football League,  now the country's primary football competition, was even established.

Knowing his lifelong passion, adidas set out to give him the ultimate fan experience. In the 36-hour journey to London, Bolzico not only met football’s biggest names such as one of his idols Zinedane Zidane, prolific goal-scorer Alessandro del Piero, and former player for France’s national team Djibril Cissé; but he also had the rare opportunity to test the F50 on Arsenal F.C.’s home turf, the Emirates Stadium, a day before they were released to the world.

With the experience of playing on a Premier League pitch being highly selective, Bolzico made the most out of his time on the field, engaging with fellow fans and living out his childhood dream all while experiencing the freeing speed the F50 provides.

Accompanying such once-in-a-lifetime encounters was Bolzico meeting even more football enthusiasts from all walks of life, giving him a chance to interact with some of the most passionate in the community including journalist Sofia Martinez, and Filipino-Norwegian freestyler and two-time Asian Freestyle Football Champion Phillip Warren Gertsson.

His participation in the adidas F50 launch is a testament not only to his passion for football, but also to how football has grown in the Philippines and built a community of its own. Says Bolzico, “Being part of the adidas F50 launch was a dream come true. Football has always been a huge part of my life, and having been able to work with adidas for such a golden opportunity is an unforgettable experience as a fan. This event represented more than playing on the field – it's about connecting with the global football community and living out our passion for the game, and I hope even more can see how freeing watching and playing football can be!”

And now, anyone can experience the thrill on the pitch with adidas, too. First launched in 2004, adidas is ringing in the 20th anniversary of the much-loved F50 boots with a brand-new ‘Advancement’ boot pack, coming in a classic colorway. Meant to provide game-changing speed, the F50 is for those unafraid to feel the rush on the pitch – and those with a hunger to play freely, on their own terms.

The Advancement pack was seen on pitch for the first time during the men’s UEFA Champions LeagueTM final last June 1, and will continue to be worn by some of the best footballers in the world such as Lionel Messi, Rafael Leão, Son Heung-min, Linda Caicedo, Trinity Rodman, Lamine Yamal and Florian Wirtz.  

Catering to both genders, the F50 also comes in the Mid W Elite silhouette, offering unique features optimized for a women’s foot, including its ultra-soft Primeknit Mid Cut Collar which allows for an adaptive fit around the ankle for stability, comfort, and performance.

The F50 boot pack retail price starts at PHP 4,700, and is available via the adidas app, website, and in-store. For more information, visit https://www.adidas.com.ph/football_boots_pack.

adidas set to provide quality outfit support for FIFA Women's World Cup

Filipinas get additional support from adidas

Adidas is set to provide the best kind of support for the teams they are equipping in the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup, specifically providing them with women's specific innovations.

Each of the ten federations (Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Germany, Italy, Japan, Jamaica, Spain, Sweden, and the Philippines), will receive over fifteen times more women-specific products than what the teams in the previous Women's World Cup edition, whether apparel, hardware, and footwear.

They also worked with experts to ensure the ladies get the best quality equipment possible, whether in the aspect of sports bra engineering or in-kit period support.

For the former, bespoke 1-1 fittings through adidas' Expert Fitter collective to ensure adequate breast support whilst also providing the necessary comfort. 

The latter provide those in a state of menstruation with an extra layer of protection against leaks whilst on the field when worn with a tampon or pad. Integrated with the signature FlowShield Technology, the period support performance short is set to complement federation kits in either White, Black, and Arctic Night, as well as the ones in currently available in the Stay in Play collection.

adidas Senior Product Manager Claudia Scholl shares, "Football can be very physically demanding. Breasts can move up to 19cm in high impact movements. Players can make 100 sprints in a game where they reach in excess of 20KM/h. So correctly fitting product is essential. That’s why we are ensuring our teams get access to 1:1 fittings, technical sports bras and discreet period support; each rigorously tested in our innovation labs alongside athletes. This is an essential part of removing barriers to the sport uniquely faced by women – and just one of the ways we want to create pathways to sport at every level."

The kit bag is the latest innovation from adidas for the FIFA Women's World Cup, following their nature-inspired women's only away kits to the Oceanuz, which is the competition's official match ball.

As the Philippine national women’s football team and adidas become one with the mantra of Impossible Is Nothing, we will always be proud of and be in full support towards the Filipinas as they continue to grow and serve as inspirations to the Filipino football scene."

adidas Philippines General Manager Anthony Frangos adds, "At adidas, we live and breathe by the mantra of Impossible is Nothing, and the Filipinas are the group that best embodies this mindset. The Filipinas FIFA Women’s World Cup kits were designed by adidas with their rich journey in mind, and we hope this serves not just as an inspiration to the Filipino community as they rally behind our Filipinas, but also to the team itself as they take on the global stage for the Women’s World Cup."

For those who have yet to see the kits, adidas designed three colorways that are chock full of tributes to our homeland, one that would honor the growth of the Filipinas and serve as an inspiration for future Filipino footballers regardless of gender.

The home kit is in blue or Bughaw and is dubbed as "Sipag at Tiyaga." It is adorned with the adidas’ iconic three stripes across the pieces, with its collar striped in red and white. This colorway represents the calm perseverance of our Filipinas throughout their road to the Women’s World Cup, and their journey of tackling obstacles with sportsmanship. It also serves to symbolize inspiration for the new wave of Filipino footballers, especially those striving to represent the country with pride.

The away kit is in white or Puti and is dubbed as "Ang Bagong Yugto." It comes with three blue stripes and a collar decked in white and yellow. It symbolizes the Filipinas’ fresh and determined start as they take on the Women’s World Cup for the first time and elevate the sport to new heights among the Filipino community and paving the way for a new era of football. The vibrant patterns also align with the dynamic mix of players within the team, composed of diverse members who come together united for a common goal.

The third kit comes in red or Pula and is dubbed as, "Alab Ng Puso." Loud and bold, it also comes with the brand’s three stripes and a matching pair of blue and white for the collar. This colorway is a suitable parallel to the Filipinas’ fiery passion and unbridled courage as they compete for the country, regardless of the odds, with an unwavering work ethic.

All three colorways are made with adidas AEROREADY, managing moisture while providing comfort; 100% recycled polyester Interlock that gives the gear a hydrophilic finish; and mesh inserts placed on the sleeves and shoulders for breathability. It utilizes a short-sleeve cut and a sublimated front panel print, as well as a ribbed round neckline and cuff. adidas's iconic three stripes are seen across the kits’ shoulder area, next to an embroidered adidas Badge of Sport logo and the Philippine Football Federation’s logo.

Completing the badges on the kits is the Philippine flag located across the left shoulder and the waistband, and the sun symbol at the back of each jersey.

Expect the Filipinas to also use the kits on their upcoming competitions later this year.

Aside from the kits, adidas also has produced hyperlocal merchandise that has the new Filipinas seal, which they also designed. The new logo is derived from the sampaguita and sports the four colors of the flag: yellow, red, white, and blue.

These items, ranging from a hoodie, sweatshirt, t-shirts, and a cap, are already available at the six major adidas outlets: the Brand Center in Glorietta, Two Parkade at BGC, Trinoma, Uptown Mall, Ayala Bay, and the Venice Grand Canal Mall.

adidas x Filipinas

An old friend has return to help the Philippines enter into unchartered waters.

On Thursday, the Philippine Football Federation has entered into a partnership with adidas to be the official kit supplier for the Senior Women's National Football team.

The Filipinas lived the famed Impossible is Nothing mantra by pulling off what was once unthnikable, earning their first-ever berth in the FIFA Women's World Cup, the highest level of competition for women's football worldwide.

Meanwhile, witnessing things online are fellow Philippines internationals Olivia McDaniel and Sarina Bolden, Team Manager Jeff Cheng, Belay Fernando-dela Cruz of the PFF as well as President Mariano Araneta.

In unveiling the partnership, Frangos shares, "As the country’s national women’s football team gears to have a packed 2023 ahead of them, we at adidas are truly honored to forge a partnership with them. In everything we do as a brand, we have always drawn inspiration from the saying ‘Impossible Is Nothing,’ and it is very clear how the national women’s football team has also long brought this to life. As we move forward, adidas promises to be beside these inspiring women for every training, every milestone, and every victory that awaits them."

On behalf of the team, Cheng says, "This is an incredibly significant partnership for the Philippine Women’s National Football Team. We are honored to  have adidas as our official kit supplier as we prepare to compete at the Philippines’ maiden FIFA World Cup in six months’ time.
 
We thank adidas for its inclusive support for the beautiful game all over the world, for sponsoring the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and now for giving its full support to the Philippines’ women’s teams, not just to our Senior Team bound for the World Cup but also to our youth teams participating in various international tournaments in the coming months.
 
Our entire group is excited to be adidas ambassadors and we hope that, together, we can bring football in the Philippines to unprecedented heights
."

Notable aspects of the partnership includes dressing up the women's youth teams, with both the Under-20 and Under-17 teams set for continental participation later this year.

The Filipinas are in for a hectic 2023, capped by their inaugural participation in the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia/New Zealand. After the ceremony, Long and Palacios were scheduled to fly out later that day as they join the rest of the squad in Spain for the Pinatar Cup, a four-team tournament alongside European sides Wales, Scotland, and Iceland. Also on tap in between the two competitions are the first round of Olympic qualifying in April and the Southeast Asian Games in May.

adidas will provide more updates with regards to their partnership with the Filipinas on their social media platforms, as well as through their app and adidas.com.ph.
