World Cup 2026 Kits Guide

Montage promotionnel de la Coupe du Monde 2026 : de nombreux footballeurs en maillots de leurs sƩlections nationales entourent le trophƩe dorƩ, sur fond de drapeaux et de monuments emblƩmatiques.

The 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, will be the first with 48 teams: an absolute record, and thus an avalanche of new jerseys to discover. Between giants Nike, Adidas, and Puma, and a dozen more niche brands, no World Cup has ever offered so many different visual identities.

This edition will also have marked a turning point: for the first time, fan pressure forced Brazil and Mexico to revise their jerseys after leaked initial designs were poorly received. Proof that the football jersey is no longer just a uniform, but a true object of culture and national identity. Here is our complete guide to the 2026 World Cup jerseys, team by team: kit manufacturer, our opinion, stars to watch, and everything you need to know about each selection.

Summary — the 48 teams from A to Z

🟢South Africa

Adidas Group A

Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. The canary yellow home kit, a direct homage to the 2010 World Cup hosted at home, is a warm success, but it's the gold and forest green away kit, with its vertical stripes in hand-drawn tile patterns, that really steals the show.

Stars to watch

Lyle Foster Ā· Percy Tau

Sixteen years after hosting the world, the Bafana Bafana return to the World Cup and want to prove that their generation is as good as the 2010 one. They will even kick off against Mexico, a remake of the 1-1 draw from the South African edition — the perfect opportunity to make an early impact.

🟢Algeria

Adidas Group J

Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The home jersey isn't the most original, but the away model speaks to us more! Its green lines and the Adidas Originals brand give it a distinctly retro feel.

Stars to watch

Riyad Mahrez · Ismaël Bennacer

Absent from the World Cup since 2014, the Fennecs return with the firm intention of erasing years of disillusionment. Controlled qualification and an experienced generation make them an outsider that no big team wants to face.

⚪ Germany

Adidas Group E

Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. The home kit revives the black-red-gold diamonds of 1990 and 2014, two World Cup victories. It's a favorite that will appeal to fans nostalgic for the Mannschaft. The other jerseys are not on the same level, which is a shame.

Stars to watch

Florian Wirtz Ā· Joshua Kimmich

After two failed World Cups ending in the group stage, Germany has a lot at stake and wants to reconnect with its winning DNA. This edition also marks the end of an era: 70 years of partnership with Adidas before the big jump to Nike.

↑ Back to summary

⚪England

Nike Group L

Our opinion on the jerseys

6/10. England's jerseys draw from retro Umbro designs of the 90s without inventing anything new. Clean, typically English, but without sparkle.

Stars to watch

Jude Bellingham Ā· Harry Kane Ā· Bukayo Saka

Unfortunate finalists in the last two Euros, the Three Lions have been carrying a hunger for a title since 1966 that has become almost painful. With one of the richest attacks in the tournament, the time for excuses is over.

↑ Back to summary

🟢Saudi Arabia

Adidas Group H

Our opinion on the jerseys

5/10. The forest green home jersey is divisive with its geometric patterns. There's an effort for originality but unfortunately, it's not revolutionary. The green and gold away kit verges on blandness.

Stars to watch

Salem Al-Dawsari Ā· Firas Al-Buraikan

Four years after defeating eventual champions Argentina, the Green Falcons dream of repeating their upset. With their home World Cup in 2034 on the horizon, every match feeds the construction of a monumental project.

šŸ”µ Argentina

Adidas Group J
Promotional visual presenting the Argentina jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

9/10. The sky blue and white stripes, an Argentine classic, blend into a three-blue gradient, a nod to the 1978, 1986, and 2022 victories — a brilliant idea for the home kit! The black away kit adorned with volutes inspired by Buenos Aires' fileteado is divisive, but we love its boldness.

Stars to watch

Lionel Messi · Lautaro Martínez · JuliÔn Álvarez

Reigning world champions, the Albiceleste aim for a double that no nation has achieved since Brazil in 1962. For Lionel Messi, this will most likely be his final global dance... enough to send shivers down the spine of the entire football planet.

🟔Australia

Nike Group D
Promotional visual presenting the Australia jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

4/10. The home jersey is a beautiful tribute to Nike's Total 90 era. However, the away model takes a complete opposite approach with a green-blue watercolor gradient fading into orange, which is not very aesthetic in our opinion...

Stars to watch

Mat Ryan Ā· Martin Boyle

The Socceroos are consistently qualifying for World Cups and finally want to advance beyond the Round of 16. Without global superstars but with unwavering solidarity, Australia sees itself as a dark horse in its group.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“Austria

Puma Group J
Promotional visual presenting the Austria jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The red and black home kit is a simple but effective color combination! The away jersey, however, innovates with a mint green marble effect veined with pink… an idea inspired by Viennese cafĆ©s.

Stars to watch

Marcel Sabitzer Ā· Konrad Laimer

For the first time since 1998, Austria qualifies for the World Cup, driven by a brilliant generation and suffocating pressing. Placed in a group with Argentina, the modern Wunderteam wants to prove they are not just there to make up the numbers.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“Belgium

Adidas Group G
Promotional visual presenting the Belgium jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The red home kit with a "flame" theme feels like the fifth of its kind. The real innovation is on the away jersey, which is simply sublime. The design pays homage to the surrealist Magritte, a Belgian artist.

Stars to watch

Kevin De Bruyne · Jérémy Doku · Romelu Lukaku

The golden generation is thinning, but De Bruyne, as captain, wants one last major achievement before retiring internationally. The Red Devils know: the window is closing, it's now or never.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”µBosnia and Herzegovina

Kelme Group B
Promotional visual presenting the Bosnia jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

5/10. One of the last nations to unveil its jerseys, the goalkeeper model is also not yet available. True to national colors, these designs are quite basic. We had hoped for better.

Players to watch

Edin Džeko · Sead KolaŔinac

Eleven years after their only appearance, the Dragons return to the World Cup by eliminating Italy in the play-offs: a resounding achievement. At 40, Edin Džeko will have a last hurrah in a legendary career.

↑ Back to summary

🟔 Brazil

Nike Group C
Promotional visual presenting Brazil's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. Saved at the last minute! Nike wanted to impose a red Jordan jersey, but the fans' revolt put an end to the project and brought back the historic canary yellow, here enhanced with dark green blocks and a subtle diamond pattern. The result is appealing, even if it still feels like a compromise. For more extravagant Brazilian jerseys, fortunately, there are still the conceptual creations of Samba Futebol.

Players to watch

VinĆ­cius JĆŗnior Ā· Raphinha Ā· Rodrygo

Without a title since 2002, the Seleção arrives with a thirst for revenge after the humiliation of recent editions. Maximum pressure: for the country with five stars, anything less than the title would be a failure.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“Canada

Nike Group B
Promotional visual presenting Canada's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

5/10. Huge disappointment for a host country: the home and away jerseys evoke the maple leaf. They remain lukewarm and uninspired. What saves the score is this third model with a splashed style, more original and sober at the same time with its black color.

Players to watch

Alphonso Davies Ā· Jonathan David

Co-host for the first time, Canada wants to build on their 2022 performance and finally win a World Cup match. With Davies and David in their prime, their ambition far exceeds the role of a mere participant.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”µ Cape Verde

Capelli Group H
Promotional visual presenting Cape Verde's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. For a historic first, the Blue Sharks opted for an all-over pattern inspired by the air routes connecting the airports of the ten islands of the archipelago. The idea is beautiful and distinctive, even if the execution remains more restrained than revolutionary.

Players to watch

Ryan Mendes · Bebé

With barely half a million inhabitants, Cape Verde achieves one of the greatest feats of these qualifiers by reaching their very first World Cup. An island nation that arrives without pressure, but with the desire to make history.

↑ Back to summary

🟔 Colombia

Adidas Group K
Promotional visual presenting Colombia's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. Classic yellow home kit in appearance, enhanced up close by a butterfly pattern in homage to Gabriel Garcƭa MƔrquez: a literary nod of great finesse. The ultramarine blue and lemon yellow away kit, with shimmering aquatic diamonds, confirms Colombian expertise.

Players to watch

Luis Díaz · James Rodríguez · Jhon DurÔn

Returning after missing out on 2022, the Cafeteros boast one of South America's most attractive squads. Between Luis DĆ­az's talent and James's experience, Colombia sees itself going much further than the round of sixteen.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“South Korea

Nike Group A
Promotional visual presenting South Korea's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

9/10. A masterstroke, quite simply. Whether it's the home or goalkeeper model, South Korea's kits for this World Cup are a success. But the collection reaches perfection with the lavender-colored away jersey. Its floral pattern and phosphorescent logos (a first!) have won over the fans.

Players to watch

Son Heung-min Ā· Lee Kang-in Ā· Kim Min-jae

Present at every World Cup since 1986, the Taeguk Warriors are riding the momentum of their round of sixteen appearance in 2022. For Son Heung-min, the emblematic captain, time is running out to finally achieve a great run.

🟠Ivory Coast

Puma Group E
Promotional visual presenting Ivory Coast's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. The orange color remains on Ivory Coast's home jersey. This time, the model features speckled animal motifs, with touches of green and white. The energy and national identity of the Elephants shine through! For the away model, we have a true masterpiece. Adorned with elephants, baobab flowers, and palm trees, the kit has a delightful seventies vinyl tablecloth vibe that we love.

Players to watch

Sébastien Haller · Simon Adingra · Franck Kessié

African champions in 2023 on home soil, the Elephants are back on the world stage after missing the last two editions. A generation confident in its strength, no longer content with shining only on its continent.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“Croatia

Nike Group L
Promotional visual presenting Croatia's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

6/10. The iconic red and white checkerboard remains untouched, with a welcome minimalist central area this year after the oversized blocks of 2024. The combination is less appealing on the away model, which is a shame.

Players to watch

Luka Modrić Ā· JoÅ”ko Gvardiol Ā· Mateo Kovačić

Finalists in 2018, third in 2022, the Vatreni continue to defy the laws of longevity. At 40, Luka Modrić is about to play in the final World Cup of an extraordinary career — a last lap that the whole world will want to salute.

🟔Curaçao

Adidas Group E
Promotional visual presenting CuraƧao's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

9/10.Ā The lemon yellow away jersey is one of the most praised kits of this World Cup! Inspired by the colorful facades of Willemstad, its pastel pink, turquoise, and orange touches exude an irresistible joie de vivre. A future best-seller among collectors, without a doubt.

Players to watch

Leandro Bacuna Ā· Tahith Chong

With 156,000 inhabitants, CuraƧao becomes the smallest nation in history to reach a World Cup: an incredible feat. Carried by a diaspora that has passed through Europe, the Caribbean island arrives as an uninhibited dreamer.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”µScotland

Adidas Group C
Promotional visual presenting Scotland's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The navy blue home kit, with a St. Andrew's cross pattern woven into the fabric, is decent but unremarkable. Fortunately, the coral away kit, a tribute to the Rosebery kits of the early 20th century, is a real success: bold without being garish.

Players to watch

Andrew Robertson Ā· Scott McTominay Ā· John McGinn

First World Cup since 1998 for the Tartan Army, ending a quarter-century of frustration. Grouped with Brazil, Scotland arrives without complexes, ready to turn its famous fighting spirit into a triumph.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“Egypt

Puma Group G
Promotional visual presenting Egypt's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. Puma hits hard again with a home model featuring pyramid motifs. The national identity is reflected again, as on many African kits. We feel the soul emanating from these jerseys. Although the white away is a little more discreet.

Player to watch

Mohamed Salah

Returning to the World Cup after missing it in 2022, Egypt relies on a still decisive Salah whose clock is ticking. For the Pharaoh, this is undoubtedly the last chance to shine on the biggest stage.

↑ Back to summary

🟔Ecuador

Marathon Group E
Promotional visual presenting Ecuador's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

3/10. The home jersey is frankly unremarkable, mainly saved by the motto inscribed under the collar: "SoƱar, Trascender y Hacer Historia". The away jersey is a little more surprising with a navy polo, but the overall look remains unoriginal.

Players to watch

Moisés Caicedo · Enner Valencia

La Tri arrives with one of the most athletic defenses in the tournament and a Caicedo who has become the midfield boss. Discreet but formidable, the Ecuadorians dream of matching, or even surpassing, their round of sixteen performance in 2006.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“Spain

Adidas Group H
Promotional visual presenting Spain's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The red home jersey with thin yellow stripes is a nod to the flag. Sober, elegant, and faithful to Spain's high level over the last decade, it has a subtle retro touch that we appreciate. The cream and burgundy away jersey commands even more admiration.

Players to watch

Lamine Yamal Ā· Pedri Ā· Nico Williams

Reigning European champions and designated favorites, La Roja boasts a golden generation led by prodigy Lamine Yamal. Champagne football is back, and Spain is aiming for nothing less than a second World Cup triumph.

šŸ”“United States

Nike Group D
Promotional visual presenting USA's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

6/10. Very mixed reviews... the home jersey, a tribute to 1994 with its wavy red and white stripes resembling a fluttering flag, appeals to nostalgics but annoys many. The starred away jersey is equally daring. Love it or hate it, it's hard not to be binary with these very striking styles.

Players to watch

Christian Pulisic Ā· Weston McKennie

For their first home World Cup since 1994, the United States approaches the event with a more seasoned expatriate generation than ever before. The pressure of an entire country on their shoulders, and the obligation to finally make an impact.

šŸ”µFrance

Nike Group I
Promotional visual presenting France's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. Les Bleus, masters in the art of dressing, present a navy blue home kit with diagonal hatched shades. It's daring... We're still quite nostalgic for the classic outfits of 1998 or 2006. The jewel of the collection is the celadon green away kit inspired by the copper of the Statue of Liberty – a sumptuous tribute to the host country.

Players to watch

Kylian Mbappé · Ousmane Dembélé · Aurélien Tchouaméni

Finalists in 2022, MbappƩ and DembƩlƩ's men want to reclaim the trophy and avenge the Doha penalty shootout. With a Ballon d'Or winner in their ranks, France is considered the number one scarecrow.

🟔 Ghana

Puma Group L
Promotional visual presenting Ghana's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

9/10. More incredible patterns for the Africans! The white home jersey is one of the wildest of the tournament with a multicolored spider web in tribute to Kwaku Ananse, a figure of West African folklore. It will divide opinions, but we commend the audacity! The golden yellow away kit with Kente pattern is more subdued and equally successful.

Players to watch

Mohammed Kudus Ā· Thomas Partey

The Black Stars want to recapture the magic of 2010, when they almost reached the first African semi-final in history. A nation of immense raw talent, which has never really recovered from that missed penalty in stoppage time after the deliberate handball of a certain... Luis Suarez.

šŸ”µHaiti

Saeta Group C

Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. Conceptually, one of the strongest jerseys of the World Cup! The jerseys are covered with a stained-glass pattern inspired by the Iron Market in Port-au-Prince, with silhouettes holding the flag in echo of the 1804 revolution. It's full of meaning and pride, we love it.

Players to watch

Frantzdy Pierrot Ā· Danley Jean-Jacques

First World Cup since 1974 for the Grenadiers, who have come a long way despite a dramatic national context. A qualification snatched like a ray of light, and an entire people behind their team.

🟢Iraq

Jako Group I

Our opinion on the jerseys

5/10. As the last team to qualify, Iraq unveiled its jerseys at the last minute. Sober and functional outfits, faithful to national colors, with no great aesthetic risks.

Players to watch

Aymen Hussein Ā· Zidane Iqbal

The Lions of Mesopotamia dramatically secured their place in an intercontinental playoff against Bolivia (2-1). Their first World Cup since 1986 rewards a passionate nation, long deprived of home matches.

🟢Iran

Majid Group G

Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. Rather than a redesign, Iran offers an evolution of its previous jerseys: retouched collar and, above all, a large Asiatic cheetah, a critically endangered species. A strong identifying signature, even if the overall design lacks novelty.

Players to watch

Mehdi Taremi Ā· Sardar Azmoun

A World Cup regular (7th participation since 1978), Iran is still chasing a historic first round of 16. With an experienced attack led by Taremi, Team Melli finally wants to break through this glass ceiling.

šŸ”µJapan

Adidas Group F
Promotional visual presenting Japan's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

10/10. This is, "for us," THE best collection of jerseys for this 2026 World Cup. The home model is recognizable among a thousand, enhanced by a concentric ribbed pattern evoking the mist between sky and sea. This is typical of the Samurai Blue. The off-white away kit, inspired by retro baseball jerseys (a national sport in Japan) and adorned with 12 rainbow stripes, is a favorite that is already out of stock. To top it all off, the goalkeeper jersey with its phoenix style is probably the most successful of the tournament for the position.

Players to watch

Takefusa Kubo Ā· Kaoru Mitoma

The best nation in Asia, Japan is no longer hiding: after defeating Germany and Spain in 2022, the Samurai Blue are openly aiming for the quarter-finals. A technical, dense team full of players from major leagues.

šŸ”“Jordan

Kelme Group J

Our opinion on the jerseys

3/10. For a historic first, Jordan opted for a minimalist design: a simple white home jersey, with shoulders adorned with a red dotted pattern that blends into the body of the jersey. It's the black and gold goalkeeper jersey that clearly stands out.

Player to watch

Mousa Al-Tamari

Surprise finalist of the 2023 Asian Cup, Jordan is experiencing its very first World Cup. A generation that has already proven it can shake up established Asian hierarchies.

šŸ”“Morocco

Puma Group C

Our opinion on the jerseys

9/10. Subtle at first glance, the red home jersey improves with every look: textured knit, superb central crest, and especially a Fes-style embroidered trim on the collar and cuffs. The white away jersey with its zellige pattern confirms a collection of exquisite taste.

Players to watch

Achraf Hakimi Ā· Brahim DĆ­az

Heroic semi-finalists in 2022, the Atlas Lions are no longer a surprise but a global benchmark. The first African country to reach the final four, Morocco now arrives with the heavy status of a podium contender.

↑ Back to summary

🟢Mexico

Adidas Group A
Promotional visual presenting Mexico's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. The home kit pays homage to the legendary Aztec jersey from France '98, featuring an imprint of the Sun Stone. Less flamboyant than the original, despite a redesign imposed by fan discontent. The clean and fresh white away kit, with its zigzag pattern evoking Mexican rooftop stairs, will be a hit in the stands.

Players to watch

Santiago Giménez · Raúl Jiménez · Edson Álvarez

Co-hosting, Mexico kicks off the World Cup on June 11 in Mexico City against South Africa, a remake of 2010. El Tri, eternal round-of-16 participant, finally dreams of breaking its "fifth match" curse at home.

↑ Back to summary

šŸ”“Norway

Nike Group I
Promotional visual presenting Norway's jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The home kit harks back to the large flag of the 1998 jerseys and an intertwining pattern inspired by the carvings of Urnes Stave Church. It's not the definition of sobriety, but we appreciate the identity aspect. The away kit delves into the country's Viking roots to offer a more sublime and modern version.

Players to watch

Erling Haaland · Martin Ødegaard

Twenty-eight years of waiting: Norway finally returns to the World Cup, propelled by the two monsters Haaland and Ƙdegaard. One of the tournament's big attractions, capable of both the best and derailing everything.

⚫New Zealand

Puma Group G

Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. New Zealand will be the only team to play in a black jersey during this World Cup. With a subtly integrated Maori fern into the knit, the collection embraces the islands' cultural heritage without overdoing it.

Players to watch

Chris Wood Ā· Marko Stamenić

The sole representative of Oceania, the All Whites carry the dream of an entire continent. A tough team, led by striker Chris Wood, who finally wants to win a match in the World Cup.

3/10. For a big first, Uzbekistan entrusted its jerseys to the local brand 7Saber. Discrete but respectful of national colors, we expected something more striking.

Players to watch

Eldor Shomurodov Ā· Abbosbek Fayzullaev

Central Asia finally has its moment: Uzbekistan qualifies for the first time in its history. The result of remarkable youth development work, led by a generation that excelled in youth teams.

Reebok Group L

Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. Reebok and its famous Vector make their return to the World Cup almost thirty years later — an event in itself for jersey enthusiasts. Outfits that focus on efficiency and national pride rather than extravagance. We appreciate the polo style, which gives this collection a proud vintage look.

Stars to watch

Adalberto Carrasquilla · José Fajardo

Second World Cup in their history for the Canaleros, now a sure bet in regional football. On their own continent, Panama dreams of being a spoiler capable of shaking up a big team.

šŸ”“Paraguay

Puma Group D
Promotional visual presenting the Paraguay jerseys for the 2026 World Cup
Our opinion on the jerseys

6/10. The home red-striped jersey, despite a neat dotted effect, unfortunately resembles a half-finished draft of an Atletico Madrid kit. We would have liked more originality. The away kit, a camouflage of blacks and blues with contemporary white logos, is more chic but also lacks depth.

Stars to watch

Miguel Almirón · Antonio Sanabria

Sixteen years of waiting: the Albirroja returns to the World Cup after a hard-fought qualification. A team built for battle, true to the warlike reputation of Paraguayan football.

🟠Netherlands

Nike Group F

Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The Oranje embrace a "Maximum Oranje" theme with a new, brighter shade of orange: a refined and minimalist home kit, entirely focused on the national color and a stunning iridescent KNVB crest. The white away kit with an orange band has a delicious early 2000s feel that you either love or hate.

Stars to watch

Virgil van Dijk Ā· Cody Gakpo Ā· Frenkie de Jong

Always there, never crowned: the Netherlands carries the label of the greatest nation never to have won the World Cup. With a solid defense and a sharp attack, the men in orange finally want to break this curse.

šŸ”“Portugal

Puma Group K

Our opinion on the jerseys

9/10. The red home kit, inspired by the energy of the ocean, is simply very successful: beautiful deep red, subtle wave details, without falling into gimmickry. The white away kit crossed by an azure wave is more audacious, with its plunging V on the belly. Puma does not shy away from aesthetic challenges and dares everything, we approve!

Stars to watch

Cristiano Ronaldo · Bruno Fernandes · Rafael Leão

At 41, Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to play in the sixth and final World Cup of a stratospheric career, in search of the only major title he lacks. Around him, a golden generation that can no longer afford to fail.

🟤Qatar

Adidas Group B

Our opinion on the jerseys

2/10. Uninspired: the maroon home kit is only saved from the generic template by the central zigzag band taken from the flag. As for the away kit, it's a simple white training jersey with a maroon trim — it's hard to get more minimalist.

Stars to watch

Akram Afif Ā· Almoez Ali

Four years after their home World Cup, Qatar qualifies this time on the field, via the Asian qualifiers. Double reigning Asian champions, the emirate wants to prove that its football has matured beyond financial means.

Umbro Group K

Our opinion on the jerseys

5/10. Umbro's return to the World Cup is accompanied by a sky blue home kit with a central zebra skin stripe — superb, even if the team's nickname (the Leopards) would have called for another feline. The away kit reverses the palette with a gradient diamond pattern.

Stars to watch

Yoane Wissa · Cédric Bakambu

First World Cup since 1974 (then under the name Zaire) for the Leopards, who have come a long way. A vast nation with an inexhaustible talent pool, finally back among the elite and determined not to just make up the numbers.

Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The cherry red home kit, a tribute to the Puma jersey of the Euro 96 finalists, is appealing with a buttoned collar. Uncommon in 2026! The icy white away kit with a "Bohemian glass" pattern is a risky bet, but one that will appeal to many.

Stars to watch

Patrik Schick Ā· TomÔŔ Souček

First World Cup since 2006 for the Czechs, who knocked out Denmark on penalties in the playoffs. A nation with a glorious past, Euro 96 runners-up, eager to reconnect with major tournaments.

🟢Senegal

Puma Group I

Our opinion on the jerseys

7/10. The home kit, inspired by the famous hand-painted Dakar buses, unfortunately loses some of its splendor with graphics that are too faded, almost washed out. The away kit saves face: brilliant green-yellow-red tricolor and a central band with tribal textile patterns, one of the most beautiful of the tournament.

Stars to watch

Sadio Mané · Nicolas Jackson

African champions in 2021 and accustomed to the second rounds, the Teranga Lions remain that physical and athletic powerhouse that everyone fears. A golden generation that is now clearly aiming for the quarter-finals, or even beyond.

🟔Sweden

Adidas Group F

Our opinion on the jerseys

4/10. We know what to expect from Sweden: a classic yellow and blue home kit, no surprises. The away kit has more depth, with an ice blue base featuring vertical undulations reminiscent of 70s Scandinavia. Nothing that will be etched in memory, unfortunately.

Stars to watch

Alexander Isak · Viktor Gyökeres

Absent in 2022, Sweden returns with one of the most lethal attacking duos of the tournament, Isak-Gyƶkeres. Enough to fuel great ambitions and shake any defense.

šŸ”“Switzerland

Puma Group B

Our opinion on the jerseys

2/10. The Nati's jerseys completely miss the mark. The red home kit is desperately boring, and the green away kit is outright nauseating, as the shade is so harsh on the eyes. Probably the worst collection of Swiss jerseys in ages.

Stars to watch

Granit Xhaka Ā· Manuel Akanji

Solid and consistent, the Swiss almost systematically reach the round of 16 — and finally want to overcome this hurdle. A team without a global star but with collective rigor that makes them a consistently difficult opponent.

šŸ”“Tunisia

Kappa Group F

Our opinion on the jerseys

For its second consecutive World Cup under Kappa, Tunisia opts for a strong red home kit, with a subtle geometric pattern in the knit and dark trim on the collar and sleeves. Sober, perhaps a little too much, but faithful to the Carthage Eagles.

Our opinion on the jerseys

3/10. Little imagination: home and away kits are simply two templates, one white, the other red, with a large Turkish flag plastered in the center and a vague peacock feather motif as seasoning. Nike was more concerned with where to place its swoosh.

Our opinion on the jerseys

8/10. The home kit, an ode to "garra charrĆŗa", is incredibly classy. Timeless polo collar, refined navy touches, it's in line with the great Celeste jerseys. The genius comes mainly from the indigo away model, a tribute to the team crowned in the very first World Cup in 1930 with its ancestral armor-like collar.

Stars to watch

Federico Valverde · Darwin Núñez · Ronald Araújo

The first world champions in history in 1930, Uruguayans cultivate a mystical relationship with this trophy. With Valverde at his peak and a strong squad, La Celeste is one of the most credible outsiders.
