R$ 300 million… Check out Vasco’s deal with Nike

Vasco da Gama officially announced this Tuesday (9) the agreement with Nike to become the club’s new sports equipment supplier starting in 2026. According to information from the Sporting News portal, the contract could reach R$ 300 million over seven years, depending on the achievement of targets, sales, and bonuses.

The estimate is that the American company will inject approximately R$ 42 million per year into the club. This is the largest sports equipment supply deal in Vasco’s history, far surpassing the previous contract with Kappa — which yielded about R$ 600,000 annually, in addition to 13% in royalties and an extra R$ 300,000 for marketing actions.

Copinha kit will be alternative

The final contractual adjustments were recently completed, and the first Nike kit will be seen as early as January, when the under-20 team competes in the Copinha. However, this shirt will be an alternative model, exclusively for use on the field, and will not be available for sale. The official kit for the professional team will be launched later.

Lengthy selection process

Although an agreement with Nike had been in the works since the beginning of the year, Vasco evaluated proposals from four other brands before closing with the multinational. Nike will be responsible for the kits for the men’s and women’s football teams, youth categories, and technical staff, including game, training, and travel kits.

President Pedrinho celebrates agreement

President Pedrinho emphasized that the partnership represents a strategic step in rebuilding the club:

“For Vasco, this partnership with Nike, the world’s leading sports brand, represents much more than a sports supply agreement. It is a strategic move that reinforces our commitment to excellence, innovation, and building a future worthy of the club’s greatness. Nike recognizes the strength of our history, believes in the project we are developing, and joins us for what we hold most valuable: the courage that shapes our path.” + Leila Pereira’s husband approaches Vasco and discusses possible investments in the SAF Photo: Reproduction/Vasco.

Vasco will end its cycle with Kappa at the end of December, after four years of supplying materials to the club in this second stint. The Italian brand was also responsible for the club’s most successful period between 1996 and 2001.
