The clock is ticking down. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching and it just got serious as adidas have unveiled the new home kits for their 22 federations. The Three Stripes are rewriting the playbook and reimagining football culture, fusing legacy with a new kind of energy. Redefining a nation through design.
Every one of these shirts tell a different story. One from the past but also one still being written. Argentina’s blues still sing, but louder. Japan’s patterns move like soundwaves. Mexico’s fire burns through modern lines. Italy’s effortless cool gets a sharper edge. These are built from history but made for the players that shape what happens next year.
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.”
The full collection hits the sweet spot of nostalgia and innovation. Classic colours are remixed with bold graphic energy that speaks to the next generation. And the details don’t miss either. Hidden dates, references to past titles, echoes of icons… the kind of subtleties only real ones catch.
Now, the design is what catches the eye first, of course, but underneath the performance runs wild. All kits are crafted for the very top of the game – body-mapped, 3D engineered, cut from adidas’ CLIMACOOL+ fabrics that move like second skin. Every part of the shirt has purpose, from mesh holes to every panel and stripe.
It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t have a closer look at each kit, so let’s get into what’s going to be rocking the streets of the 2026 World Cup.
Argentina - The iconic sky blue and white of Argentina gets reimagined. The traditional vertical stripes now move with a shapeshifting fade, blending three distinct shades of blue that have been pulled from some of their greatest moments: 1978, 1986, and 2022. Three years that blessed the country with their three stars. A nod to La Albiceleste’s greatness. Around the back of the neck, a subtle detail seals the deal. The birth year of the AFA, 1896, is etched into the collar as a reminder that legacy never fades.
Algeria
Algeria - Born from the sands of the Sahara, Algerias new home shirt hits all the marks. A bold expression of identity forged from the heat of the desert. The dynamic beige and white stripe graphics rips across the jersey like wind carved dunes, whilst flashes of green slice through the neckline and shoulders. Just to finish it off, ‘Algeria’ is etched in Arabic on the back of the neck, sealing the connection of national pride.
Belgium - Belgium’s new home kit turns up the heat. A fusion of football and gothic artistry. Pulling inspiration from the stained-glass windows that define the nation’s skyline, the jersey reimagines that intricate architecture through a pattern of bold icons, representing both the Red Devils and the Red Flames. The deep red base does all the talking, but the black and yellow detailing along the shoulder brings the national flag straight to the design.
Chile
Chile - Chile’s home shirt is a statement of identity. The nation’s iconic bird, the Condor, takes flight across a classic red base, whilst an all over feather inspired pattern brings plenty of motion and texture to the look. A subtly nod to the strength and pride that define La Roga. Once again linking to identity, a bespoke Condor emblem signs off the design on the back of the neck. It’s unmistakeably Chile.
Colombia - The FCF home kit taps into Colombia’s rich soul. A vivid blend of colour and culture inspired by magical realism. The yellow jersey channel the flutter of iconic butterflies, blurring the lines between performance and art. It’s bold, its bright, and it definitely holds the energy of a nation that plays with heart.
Costa Rica - This one is something else. Costa Rica’s home kit is pure Pura Vida energy. It’s a celebration of colour, culture, and character. And its stunning. An all-over graphic explodes with tropical life, weaving together leaves, toucans, and smiles in bold hits of red, blue and pink. It’s joy in a kit. The sign off on the back of the neck features ‘Pura Vida’, linking to the nation’s beautiful way of life. This is a kit we want to see plenty of next summer.
Germany - Here's one we’ve been waiting for. Adidas’ last year in charge of a Germany kit and they are going out with a bang. This kit is a nod to legacy. A remix of past glory built for the next chapter. It draws from the nation’s most iconic kits, it reimagines classic design DNA through a modern lens, repeating those diamond shapes and sharp chevron detailing. It calls back to those incredible moments from 1990 and 2014. Die Mannschaft are looking to make another statement next summer and end this partnership on a high.
Hungary - This kit is the traditional, rich, dark red you expected from Hungary. A timeless look elevated with crisp hits of white and green pulled straight from the nation’s flag. Marking 125 years of football heritage, a special jubilee crest takes its place alongside the national emblem, both sitting proudly on the chest. Look to the back of the design and ‘Magyarország’ seals the look.
Italy - Tradition meets evolution in Italy’s home jersey. A fresh take on heritage that captures the soul of Gli Azzurri. Italian football history is rich, we all know that, and this design brings that modern edge to a timeless nation. Another sign off features on the collar, this time ‘Azzurra’ gleams in gold in an unmistakably cool Italian style.
Japan - We always expect the very best from a Japan kit, and adidas never miss. This look gives the nation a new depth. An abstract rework that captures the nation’s calm power and poetic edge catches the eye. Ash blue linear detailing runs through the chest, mirroring the soft haze where sky and sea blur together on the Japanese horizon. Finishing the look, the national flag sits proudly on the back of the neck. Simple yet powerful.
Mexico - This might just be one of the best of the bunch. Heritage meets future in Mexico’s new home shirt. Designed to unite generations, it channels the heartbeat of a nation that lives and breathes the game every single day. Every cheer, every goal, every moment is felt deeply with El Tri spirit. Mexico get a ‘Somos Mexico’ sign off on the back of the collar, a chant that goes far beyond the pitch. This is pure passion.

The look is elevated with an abstract graphic that runs through the design, drawing from the bold lines and structures of the country’s architecture. A visual link between pitch and place.
Peru - The definition of identity meets innovation. This kit reworks a national classic through the lens of its own land. From the coastline, to highlands, to rainforest that shape Peru’s identity. The iconic red sash that we see every year takes on new life with an abstract linework graphic that weaves in symbols of each region. It’s a beautiful nod to the nation’s connection to it’s home.
Qatar - The home nation of the 2022 World Cup gets a fresh look for next year’s tournament, with adidas paying tribute to the country’s rich identity, The deep maroon base takes inspiration from the flag, with its iconic zig-zag divide reimagined through a series of darker serrated lines cutting boldly down the centre.
Saudi Arabia - Saudi’s home kit steps into new territory with a bold fusion of tradition and modernity.

Layered with the design are subtle nods to national icons such as the falcon and the palm tree, but reimagined through geometric patterns that bring a contemporary edge straight to the pitch.
Scotland - Scotland’s home jersey us the saltire front and centre. The nation’s iconic flag has been reworked into a bold, repeating deep blue pattern that runs through the classic navy base. Heritage redefined and a fresh twist on a timeless symbol of Scottish football. The perfect look for Scott Mctominay’s new-found aura.
Spain - The reigning champions of Europe are stepping into the 2026 World Cup with just as much heat as they left the last major tournament. If superstars like Lamine Yamal and Pedri weren’t enough to excite you to watch this team, well then, the kit does the job. Adidas have cooked up an instant classic. It’s clean, confident, and built for champs. The deep red base is elevated with sharp yellow pinstripes for a look that is a fresh take on traditions, keeping that heritage whilst letting the next gen take the wheel for the next chapter in Spain’s football story.

Ukraine - Onto Ukraine. This home jersey stands as a proud tribute to the nation’s heritage, acting as a modern expression of identity woven into tradition. The iconic bright yellow and blue returns once again, elevated by subtle repeating graphics in a deep yellow tone, inspired by the shapes and symbols of the Ukrainian coat of arms. A jersey crafted from resilience and pride.
