近期，Adidas 与AC米兰再续10年赞助合约，合作关系将至2017年年底。根据新协议，除赞助比赛服饰外，adidas将设计、生产和推广一系列非体育的AC米兰商品。但双方均未透漏合约的具体细节。
“我们从1998年起就与AC米兰建立起合作关系，十年来我们共创辉煌，共同分享胜利果实。希望我们能一起走过更多的不平凡的岁月。”Adidas集团主席兼CEO Herbert Hainer对续约发表言论说，“每一天Adidas都与AC米兰携手共进，研发更多的先锋产品，创造更辉煌的足球事业。”
AC米兰俱乐部副董事长兼营销董事Adriano Galliani对此也表示：“AC米兰和adidas都是各自的行业巨头，拥有共同的战略目标和愿景，致力于品牌的国际化和创新。最初我们只是在传统的赞助领域合作，今天我们向adidas颁发全球通行证，允许其全面研发推广有关AC米兰的产品。”
在与adidas合作的过去10年当中，AC米兰赢得了9个重量级的头衔：2次意甲联赛头把交椅，1次意大利杯，一次意大利超级杯赛，2次欧洲足协杯联赛冠军，2次欧洲足协超级杯赛冠军和一个俱乐部世界杯冠军头衔，其中三个都是在2007年获得的。
