Adidas Unveils Home Kits for 22 Nations Ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup
On November 5, 2025, Adidas announced the release of new home kits for 22 national teams, most of which are either qualified for or still in the running for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to take place in Canada, Mexico, and the United States next summer.
The kits feature signature elements such as oversized Adidas logos and stripes, along with unique designs that reflect the cultural heritage, national colors, and geographic features of each country.
Among the standout teams receiving new uniforms are the defending champions Argentina, co-host Mexico, and European champions Spain. Notably, Germany’s 2026 kit will mark the end of its long-standing 70-year partnership with Adidas as they transition to Nike in 2027.
Below is an overview of all 23 Adidas home kits released today, ranked and analyzed for their design and execution.

Algeria (Qualified)
The kit features a white base accented by green and red, complemented by a golden “yoke” around the neck. The choice of a simple “Algeria” roundel as the crest is less appealing than the typical Algerian Football Federation emblem.

Argentina (Q)
Argentina, the reigning world champions, will don their iconic Albiceleste stripes, enhanced with gradient shades of sky blue. These hues pay homage to the shirts worn during their World Cup triumphs in 1978, 1986, and 2022. Star player Lionel Messi models the kit, although it remains uncertain if he will participate next year.
