Adidas has suspended its partnership with the Russian football federation with immediate effect.

The German sports retailer made the kits for both the Russian men’s and women’s national teams and their announcement comes after Fifa confirmed their suspension from international football following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Adidas is suspending its partnership with the Russian Football Union (RFU) with immediate effect,” read a statement on Tuesday.

The sports giant’s decision also comes after Manchester United cut ties with Russian sponsor Aeroflot and German football club Schalke ended their sponsorship deal with Gazprom.
