adidas and Al Wahda FC have signed a 2-year sponsorship deal which will see the sports retailer operate as the exclusive product supplier for the squad, equipping the players with top of the line football apparel and gear for both training and official matches.

The new team match jerseys have been specially customised to Al Wahda's team colour - maroon. The state of the art jerseys are lightweight with high breathability and will bring comfort and flexibility to the team this season.
