During Adidas' partnership with Germany, which has spanned more than seven decades, the team has won four men's World Cups, three men's Euros, two women's World Cups and eight women's Euros with the collaboration responsible for many iconic shirts during the 1980s and 1990s.
The DFB's contract with Nike will run until 2034. "We are grateful to be able to look forward to an economically stable future again as an association thanks to Nike's commitment," DFB treasurer Stephan Grunwald said.
"Awarding a contract to our future kit supplier Nike is the result of a transparent and non-discriminatory tender procedure," DFB chairman Holger Blask added.
"Nike made by far the best financial offer and additionally impressed with the content of their vision, which also included a clear commitment to supporting amateur and grassroots sport, as well as the sustainable development of women's football in Germany"
