BBC Sport, Adidas suppliers and Premier League clubs
8 October 2026
A BBC investigation found workers making official football shirts in two Cambodian factories receiving basic wages below £1 an hour. The factories produce kits associated with major clubs including Arsenal, Liverpool, Celtic and Real Madrid.
Workers described demanding production targets, excessive heat and safety concerns. Adidas said the factories comply with its supplier standards and undergo audits. The findings highlight questions about labour conditions as official football shirt prices continue rising.
