They are also the kit provider, to the German national football team; Adidas also sponsors the Argentine, Japanese, Mexican, Scottish, Spanish and Colombian national football teams, among others. Adidas is very active at sponsoring top football clubs in Germany such as Bayern Munich, Schalke, Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen, and VfL Wolfsburg and top football clubs worldwide such as R.S.C. Anderlecht, Rapid Vienna, Real Madrid C.F., AC Milan, Dynamo Kyiv, Chelsea, Lyon, AFC Ajax, Galatasaray, Benfica, Fenerbahçe, Panathinaikos, Bolton Wanderers and many others.
As they use brand awareness they will always be a well-known company because a lot of people watch football and football is an international sport so when big football clubs like Real Madrid and Chelsea wear there kits with Adidas sponsoring the clubs, all the clubs fans will always want to check who Adidas is as a company, and Adidas will make money from the football clubs as they will receive a lot of customers who like football and sports.
