Les Bleus de retour chez Adidas, annonce la FFR

La Fédération française de rugby a annoncé ce lundi qu’Adidas serait le nouvel équipementier des équipes de France dès ce mois de septembre, pour les quatre années à venir.

Une information qui n’est pas une surprise, le président de la FFR Florian Grill ayant annoncé ce deal en juin 2023, au lendemain de son élection à la tête de la fédé.

La firme allemande revient donc aux affaires avec les Bleus, après six ans passés chez Le Coq sportif. Adidas et l’équipe de France, ce sont déjà 18 ans d’aventure commune, marqués notamment par trois Grands Chelems dans le Tournoi des Cinq Nations (1987, 1997, 1998), comme le rappelle la FFR dans son communiqué.

Mais aussi des souvenirs plus douloureux, comme l’énorme raclée reçue en quarts de finale de la Coupe du Monde 2015 par les All Blacks (62-13).

Ce nouveau maillot, d’ores et déjà disponible sur la boutique en ligne de la FFR, sera étrenné par l’équipe de France féminine le samedi 7 septembre, à l’occasion du Crunch face à l’Angleterre.

Ceux qui ne souhaitent pas débourser les 90 € requis pour la nouvelle tunique peuvent se rabattre sur l’ancienne version, celle du Coq sportif, proposée à moitié prix (45 €).

« Le partenariat entre Adidas et la FFR est emblématique de notre projet pour le rugby français », avance le président Florian Grill dans le communiqué.

« Adidas soutient la haute performance et nos 14 équipes de France féminines et masculines avec sa capacité d’innovation, mais Adidas soutient tout autant les clubs et le rugby amateur avec près de 900 équipes féminines (minimettes, cadettes et seniores) qui bénéficieront de dotations. Par ce partenariat, Adidas est au soutien du rugby français depuis la base jusqu’au sommet. »

Le montant de ce partenariat n’a pas fuité. Le précédent, avec Le Coq sportif, était estimé à 4 millions d’euros par saison.

'Passionate reunion of France and New Zealand shows Fabien Galthie is wrong to rest his stars'

Where? I remember saying "unders"? The LNR was formed by the FFR, if I said that in a way that meant the 'pro' side of the game didn't have an equal representation/say as the 'amateur' side (FFR remit) that was not my intent.


But also, as it is the governing body, it also has more responsibility. As long as WR looks at FFR as the running body for rugby in France, that 'power' will remain. If the LNR refuses to govern their clubs use of players to enable a request by FFR (from WR) to ensure it's players are able to compete in International rugby takes place they will simply remove their participation. If the players complain to the France's body, either of their health and safety concerns (through playing too many 'minutes' etc) or that they are not allowed to be part in matches of national interest, my understanding is action can be taken against the LNR like it could be any other body/business. I see where you're coming from now re EPCR and the shake up they gave it, yes, that wasn't meant to be a separate statement to say that FFR can threaten them with EPCR expulsion by itself, simply that it would be a strong repercussion for those teams to be removed (no one would want them after the above).


You keep bringing up these other things I cannot understand why. Again, do you think if the LNR were not acting responsibly they would be able to get away with whatever they want (the attitude of these posters saying "they pay the players")? You may deem what theyre doing currently as being irresponsible but most do not. Countries like New Zealand have not even complained about it because they've never had it different, never got things like windfall TV contracts from France, so they can't complain because theyre not missing out on anything. Sure, if the French kept doing things like withholding million dollar game payments, or causing millions of dollars of devaluation in rights, they these things I'm outlining would be taking place. That's not the case currently however, no one here really cares what the French do. It's upto them to sort themselves out if they're not happy. Now, that said, if they did make it obvious to World Rugby that they were never going to send the French side away (like they possibly did stating their intent to exclude 20 targeted players) in July, well then they would simply be given XV fixtures against tier 2 sides during that window and the FFR would need to do things like the 50/50 revenue split to get big teams visiting in Nov.
