Adidas Unveils Four National Team Kits Ahead of World Cup 2026

Adidas has unveiled four bold new national team kits for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Algeria, blending heritage with a futuristic aesthetic and featuring Climacool+ to keep players cool under pressure.

Design, Tech and Availability

The collection marries iconic cultural identities with contemporary styles, presenting jerseys that honor each nation’s stories while aiming to engage fans across generations. All four kits are reportedly available for purchase today at Adidas stores, online at adidas.com, and through selected retailers.

Saudi Arabia’s kit centers on a deep green base with a dual-tone print in dark greens and purples, drawing inspiration from architectural motifs and national symbols such as the falcon and palm, rendered in a modern geometric treatment.

Qatar’s kit celebrates the maroon heritage, featuring flowing lines and darker tones that echo the flag, with a pattern of subtle serrated lines across the chest to convey movement and national pride.

The United Arab Emirates kit adopts a white base with red detailing and a cool gray treatment on the shoulders and sleeves, reflecting a balance of tradition and contemporary design.

Algeria’s kit combines sandy whites and warm neutrals with bright green accents at the collar and shoulders, including the Arabic word for Algeria at the neckline to emphasize national identity.

According to Adidas executives, the entire lineup is designed not only to honor heritage but also to serve as a performance platform, with fabrics engineered for high-intensity play and variable climates, ensuring comfort and dryness during peak moments of the World Cup.

Bilal Fares, Adidas’ General Manager for Emerging Markets, said, “Football in this region runs deep in culture and identity, and with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Algeria qualified for the global stage while UAE pursues its path, these kits are more than designs—they are a reflection of a country’s story and ambition.”

Sam Handy, Adidas Head of Football, added, “The kits symbolize unity and pride for a nation in a global tournament. We crafted them to honor roots while inspiring a new generation of fans and players who will shape the future of football in the region.”

Thomas Meis, Adidas’ Vice President of Football Design, commented, “The World Cup 2026 kit range centers on elevating national identities beyond performance and innovation. Each jersey tells a story, merging legacy with bold aesthetics and cutting-edge ventilation to support players under the world’s brightest spotlight.”

All primary jerseys are set to be available starting today through adidas.com and select retailers, with additional outlets carrying the range in the coming weeks.

And just in case you were wondering, these kits are not just fashion statements; they’re intended to enable peak performance with enhanced breathability, moisture management, and comfort—because nothing says “we’re ready” like a jersey that feels as cool as it looks. And yes, you might catch a few fans sporting them at casual weekend games, pretending they’re already on a global stage.

Punchline time: If style could score goals, Adidas would have already clinched the World Cup. And if elegance were a goalkeeper, these kits would be unbeatable—good luck scoring on a fashion strike like that.
