While the club has yet to officially announce an extension to their current deal, it’s clear that the Celtic-Adidas partnership is not only continuing but reaching new heights.
According to Footy Headlines’ post, Celtic will join an exclusive group of football giants that includes the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United. The full list of Adidas’ elite clubs from next season is as follows:
1. AS Roma
2. Juventus
3. Newcastle United
4. FC Bayern Munich
5. Real Madrid
6. Celtic FC
7. Arsenal
8. Liverpool
9. Manchester United
Taking to their social media on Monday afternoon the site posted an image of all the elite clubs with the simple tagline ‘WHAT A LINE-UP’.
The inclusion of Celtic in this list solidifies the Hoops’ standing as a global football powerhouse, despite playing in the Scottish Premiership, a league that often lacks the profile of other top European leagues. While some fans of clubs in bigger leagues may question Celtic’s place in this elite group, the reality is that Celtic’s stature far exceeds what the league they play in might suggest.
Celtic’s massive global fan base and the club’s rich history are key reasons for this promotion. The Hoops regularly outperform expectations in Europe, and their supporters are among the most passionate in the world. It’s this worldwide backing and the club’s continuous success that has caught the attention of Adidas, who are clearly keen to capitalise on Celtic’s reach.
Celtic Adidas Elite Promotion
This elite promotion means that Celtic will be positioned alongside some of the biggest names in football, and the club’s merchandise and marketing opportunities are set to expand as a result. For fans, this could mean even more bespoke and high-quality kit releases, with Adidas likely to pour more resources into the design and production of Celtic’s future gear.
While we can expect the usual suspects to be jealous of Celtic’s inclusion, it’s hard to argue with the club’s global pull. Despite the financial and competitive limitations of the Scottish league, Celtic consistently punch above their weight and remain a massive force in football. Now, they’ve got the recognition to match.
Being in Adidas’ elite category is not just an honour, but a statement of where the club stands in world football.
