Today, adidas unveils the official tournament home kits for 22 partner federations competing to qualify for FIFA World Cup26™, including: Algeria, Argentina, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Peru, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela and Wales.*
The FIFA World Cup26™ home jersey collection combines historic visual identities and traditions of each nation and portrays them in a modernist, forward-looking aesthetic. The designs are representative of a liberated style of play and fresh perspectives on the game, aiming to bridge the gap between every generation of fan, ahead of the biggest World Cup tournament ever.
The bold collection of jerseys reflects the heart of each nation via colourways and patterns that celebrate key aspects of each nation’s identity. From their rich histories to famous landscapes, traditional architecture and iconic past kit designs, each jersey aims to unite fans around a shared passion for their nation.
Throughout the collection, subtle details that nod to the tournament’s storied history – including acknowledgements of historic jersey designs, past victories and memorable dates – can be discovered when viewed up close, creating on-going moments of delight for fans past the first viewing.
The full range is crafted for performance, built to support world-class players in high-pressure moments to cope with the varying conditions they will experience across three unique host nations. To tackle the more intense warm-weather conditions, body-mapped 3D engineered mechanical stretch fabrics incorporating adidas’ latest CLIMACOOL+ materials wick sweat faster, keeping players dryer for longer. Perforated wide 3-stripe tapes enable ultimate breathability, while strategically placed mesh holes on both fabric and trims deliver best-in-class air permeability, ensuring optimal ventilation even in the most demanding climates.
The collection also features a new lenticular heat-printed adidas logo expression, a process that creates a unique shapeshifting appearance to the adidas logo, adding a bold and innovative visual detail.
Sam Handy, GM Football at adidas said: “The national kit is the symbol of a nation’s togetherness and pride. As teams step onto the world stage at the biggest World Cup we have ever seen, they carry the hopes of a whole new generation of fans, while representing those that have come before them. A World Cup is about creating moments that transcend the stadium, so we’ve engineered the designs as an honour to each nation’s roots but also to celebrate an era where every fan, everywhere, is part of the story.”
Thomas Mace, VP Design, adidas Football said: “Designing our jersey roster for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ has been about honouring each nation’s unique identity while pushing the boundaries of innovation and performance. Every jersey tells a story — blending cultural heritage with modern aesthetics — and is built using our most advanced technologies to keep players cool and comfortable on football’s biggest stage. From the bold visual details to the shapeshifting lenticular logo and innovative ventilation features, this collection represents the future of football jersey design.”
All adidas federation home jerseys will be available from 6th November via adidas.co.za and select retail stores.
Design overview of select nations:
Argentina
The traditional Argentina vertical stripes in sky blue and white, take on a shapeshifting look, with a unique 3 coloured fading effect, channelling the blue tones from the three previous FIFA World Cup™ winning shirts – 1978, 1986 & 2022. The back neck sees a bespoke sign-off reading ‘1896’ – celebrating the founding date of the AFA.
Germany
Championing Germany’s previous successes in this tournament, the home jersey pays homage to some of the nation’s most iconic shirts. The diamond shape is inspired by the iconic winning graphics found on both the 1990 & 2014 shirts, whilst the chevron detail seen on the shirt is inspired by 1994, the last time the USA hosted the tournament.
Italy
The blue base of Italy’s home kit is adorned with an all-over repeating graphic pattern, based on the laurel crowns worn by athletes and emperors in the Roman Empire – worn to represent the victory and triumph so deeply rooted in the country’s history. Azzurri the National team’s nickname meaning ‘the blues,’ appears in gold lettering across the back of the shirt neck.
Japan
The classic blue of the Japanese Home jersey is brought to life using an abstract graphic with ash blue linear details reflecting the famed purple and blue horizon where sky and sea meet -synonymous with Japan’s rich and unique landscape.
Mexico
The green of Mexico’s shirt hosts a vibrant all-over graphic print inspired by the traditional Aztec calendar, reflecting the heritage of past Mexico shirts. This is most famously seen during the 1998 tournament but reimagined for the modern day, embodying the spirit of the new age. The Aztechno type font and colourings of SOMOS MEXICO, meaning “We Are Mexico”, on the top of the neck host the same red, white and green of the nation’s flag.
Spain
Spain’s home kit for FIFA World Cup 2026 ™ arrives in a clean, pinstripe finish, with the red base punctuated by repeating yellow vertical lines, that draw visual cues from the national flag and crest. The spirit of the nation is carried by the players with the word ESPAÑA seen written on the back of the shirt neck.
Full kit information for all 22 nations is available via a separate information pack.
* The Jamaica Home kit will launch as part of a separate collection in 2026.
* The Bafana Bafana Home and Away kits will launch in March 2026.
