Adidas strengthens ties with Juventus in $468 million contract extension
Adidas renewed its technical partnership with the Italian football club Juventus in June 2037 in a deal worth 408 million euros ($468 million) over a decade, the Serie A team said in a statement. According to the Turin-based club, the current contract, valid until June 2027, will remain unchanged.
The new agreement will take effect from the 2027–2028 season and cover all Juventus teams through the end of the 2036–2037 season.
"This renewal fills us with pride and testifies to the synergy between these two great companies," said Maurizio Scanavino, Juventus chief executive officer.
Juventus, known for its black and white shirts, noted that the agreement's valuation excludes additional royalties for surpassing sales targets or performance-based bonuses.
"We're delighted to extend our partnership with the most decorated club in Italian football for a further 10 years," said Sam Handy, general manager of Adidas Football. Juventus has won the Italian league title more than any other rival club.
Juventus and Adidas began their collaboration in the 2015–2016 season.
The German sportswear company also holds long-term partnerships with other top clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. It's deal with Manchester United runs through 2035.
Last month, Juventus announced that U.S. carmaker Jeep will pay 69 million euros to remain its main shirt sponsor until June 2028.

Pegula downs Swiatek to win Bad Homburg grass-court title
The 31-year-old American won through 6-4, 7-5 in one hour and 46 minutes in the northern suburbs of Frankfurt for her second title on grass after Berlin last year. The US Open finalist now trails Swiatek 6-5 in their meetings, but has won four of her last six contests with the former world number one who was appearing in her first final on grass. A break in either set was enough for Pegula to come through and add to her trophies in Austin (hard court) and Charleston (clay) this season. She now boasts nine career titles -- five of which have come in the last 12 months. She opens her Wimbledon campaign on Tuesday against 122nd-ranked Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto, with her best result in the grass-court Grand Slam being a quarter-final appearance in 2023. Five-time Grand Slam winner Swiatek was playing in her first final in a year since she lifted her fourth French Open trophy at Roland Garros in 2024. Former US Open champion Swiatek will face Russian Polina Kudermetova, ranked 63, at Wimbledon.

Inside France: The huge Seine clean-up, upsetting the British and gassing about Chat GPT
Inside France is our weekly look at some of the news, talking points and gossip in France that you might not have heard about. It's published each Saturday and members can receive it directly to their inbox, by going to their newsletter preferences or adding their email to the sign-up box in this article. Not so in-Seine One hundred and two years ago, the city of Paris banned swimming in the Seine because of the dangerously high levels of pollution in the river. Since then various city officials (including Jacques Chirac during his time as mayor) have tried to bring it back but none succeeded - until now. Three swimming spots will open up in the Seine on Saturday, July 5th, offering locals and tourists alike the chance to take a dip - with the proviso that they will only open if water quality levels are safe. It's likely that the pools may close for a day or so if there are more storms or flash floods in the city. READ ALSO : Where in Paris you can swim the Seine this summer This is the culmination of a massive clean-up effort - and it's important to note that Paris didn't spend €1.5 billion to let people swim. It spent €1.5 billion to make the river clean enough that people could swim. This is an enormous legacy project that will hopefully benefit many generations to come, as well as bringing back to life the river's biodiversity. There have been many people who were apparently keen to see them fail - both during the Olympic challenges that were the first stage of the swimming project and now. 2024 headline from The European Conservative Headline from The Times on the day the Olympic triathlon swimming event was held in the Seine I think that the city deserves immense credit for ignoring the haters and pushing ahead with a project that has been, yes, expensive, complicated and sometimes disappointing but will ultimately benefit billions. I look forward to swimming in it this summer - not just to enjoy a cool dip on a hot day but because this seems to me to be a symbol of 21st century Paris; ambitious, bold, forward-looking, environmentally conscious and working to improve the quality of life for its inhabitants. Advertisement Talking France We discuss swimming in the Seine in this week's Talking France podcast, as well as the landmark legal verdict over Brittany's toxic green algae and how France has, so far, managed to avoid anti-tourism protests of the type seen in Spain, Italy and Portugal. Listen here or on the link below. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of podcasting I see that the French have been stirring up trouble in the UK again, indirectly anyway. Paris-based journalist Sophie Pedder's question to the British ex-MP and podcast host Rory Stewart was a simple one 'What is it that bugs you so much about the French? Why can you never be positive about any French politician?', but it sparked quite a row between Stewart and his podcast co-host Alistair Campbell. My take is that Sophie is quite right, there is among certain Brits (especially posh older men) a lazy and frankly tedious strain of 'hating the French', based on very little actual knowledge of the country next door. There's plenty to dislike and criticise about French politicians, but doing so simply because they are French is just dull. What prompted all this, incidentally, was ex prime minister Gabriel Attal's trip to London - following in the footsteps of his mentor Emmanuel Macron who made a big effort to court London's French community back when he was launching his presidential ambitions in 2016/7.

Jeff Bezos weds Lauren Sánchez in lavish Venice ceremony
Billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez tied the knot in a wedding ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice on Friday. Sánchez posted a photo to her Instagram of herself beaming in a white gown as she stood alongside tuxedo-clad Bezos, the world's fourth-richest man. Dozens of private jets flocked to Venice's airports and yachts pulled into the city's waterways as guests arrived for the ceremony. Celebrities including members of the Kardashian family as well as Oprah Winfrey were in Venice to attend the wedding. It was the second day of events spread across the Italian lagoon city. On Friday afternoon, Sánchez emerged from her hotel wearing a silk scarf on her head and blew a kiss to journalists before stepping into her water taxi. It carried her through the canals to San Giorgio island, across the lagoon basin from St. Mark's Square, where the couple reportedly held their wedding ceremony. The wedding has divided the Italian city. Some activists protest it as exploitation of Venice by Bezos while ordinary residents suffer from over tourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding. About a dozen Venetian organisations, including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups, have united to protest the multi-day wedding under the banner 'No Space For Bezos.' Protesters have staged small-scale protests, unfurling anti-Bezos banners on iconic Venetian landmarks. Critics cite Amazon's labour practices, ongoing tax disputes with European governments and Bezos' political associates as reasons for concern. The city's governor Luca Zaia has strongly defended the wedding as an economic and reputation boon for Venice, saying the price tag he had seen was between €40 million and €48 million. Bezos donated 1 million each to three environmental research organisations working to preserve Venice, according to Corila, the Venetian environmental research association.
