搜狐体育讯 2004年2月18日 – 世界领先的足球品牌阿迪达斯宣布与希腊、拉脱维亚足球队签约，这两支队伍都已获得进军2004欧洲杯决赛阶段比赛的资格，这样，加上德国、西班牙和卫冕冠军法国队，在今夏的葡萄牙将有5支球队穿着阿迪达斯战袍驰骋绿茵。作为本届欧洲杯的国家级赞助商，阿迪达斯还是官方指定用球Roteiro和欧洲杯特许产品的供应商。

　　“We are extremely proud to welcome Greece and Latvia in the global adidas football family and look forward to our first joint appearance at UEFA EURO 2004. This tournament is where the best in European football meet the very best. It is a natural place for our brand to be. adidas is officially linked with the tournament: we supply the official match ball, the adidas Roteiro, and we have more federations playing in our apparel than any other brand,” said Erich Stamminger, Executive Board Member of adidas-Salomon AG, responsible for Global Marketing and North America. “Moreover, five out of the last six European Champions won their title dressed in adidas apparel, so I would say the odds look pretty good for the five we have under contract now and we wish them all the best of luck for the tournament!”

　　adidas has been the most prominent brand in international football since the days when founder Adi Dassler made his first pair of football shoes 80 years ago. adidas is an official sponsor of all major UEFA and FIFA tournaments and a long-time partner of some of the most important club teams in the world like UEFA Champions League winner AC Milan, Bayern München and Real Madrid. Moreover, many of the world’s best football players play in adidas football boots, such as FIFA World Player of the Year Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Raúl, Michael Ballack and Kaká.
