The National Team has entered a new phase of its history with PUMA as its official kit partner. Since January 1, 2025, the German brand has been outfitting all teams of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), including the men's and women's squads, futsal, beach soccer, and even e-Football.

This long-term partnership reinforces the FPF's commitment to offering players and fans excellence in equipment, combining innovation, tradition, and sustainability.

The timing could not be more symbolic: with qualification for the 2026 World Cup already secured, Portugal now presents its new home jersey, which will be worn on the world's biggest football stage.

The New Portugal 2026 Home Jersey: Ocean Energy and National Pride

The National Team's home jersey, officially launched on December 3, is much more than a piece of sports equipment. It is a statement of identity and ambition.

Inspired by the energy of the ocean, which has always shaped Portugal's history and adventurous spirit, the jersey combines the iconic red base with a wave pattern and green details. This design pays tribute to the country's maritime roots and conveys the courage of a team that never stops moving forward.

Marco Mueller, Senior Director of Product Line Management Performance Apparel at PUMA, explained:

"With the new Portugal 2026 home jersey, we wanted to capture the nation's deep connection to the ocean and transfer that energy onto the pitch. The wave-inspired pattern and the bold red and green palette reflect a team that doesn't stop moving forward, fueled by passion and courage. From our ULTRAWEAVE performance fabric to the RE:FIBRE sustainability initiative, every detail was designed to offer players and fans a jersey that not only looks powerful but means something. This jersey is for everyone who plays for the love of the shirt."

For João Medeiros Cardoso, General Manager of FPF Comercial, "this jersey carries in its soul the strength of our ocean, the courage that defines us, and the pride of millions of Portuguese people who experience the National Team with a unique emotion. Alongside PUMA, we wanted to create a symbol that not only honors our roots but also projects Portugal to the world, reflecting the ambition to take our identity to new markets and new fans. But, at the heart of it all, we always keep those who inspire us every day: the Portuguese people. It is for them, first and foremost, that we create something they can wear with pride and take with them wherever they go."

Home and Authentic Jersey: Performance and Comfort

The new jersey is available in two distinct versions:

• Authentic Jersey – worn by the players on the field, it is manufactured with PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE fabric, which reduces weight and friction, ensuring maximum performance.
• Home Jersey – designed for the fans, it offers the same striking design but with a more comfortable fit, ideal for match days or daily use.

Both versions incorporate dryCELL technology, which helps keep players and fans dry and comfortable, even during moments of high intensity.

Sustainability and Real Commitment

PUMA reinforces its commitment to sustainability through the RE:FIBRE initiative, applied to the home jerseys. This process repurposes recycled textile waste to create new materials without compromising quality or performance.

Using at least 95% recycled textile waste and other used polyesters, this jersey represents an important step toward more circular and responsible production.

Thus, each National Team jersey is not just a symbol of pride, but also a statement of environmental responsibility, aligned with the values of a country that looks to the future with ambition and awareness.

PUMA: A History of Champions

PUMA's connection to sport is marked by legendary moments. From Jesse Owens, four-time Olympic champion in 1936, to Pelé, who wore PUMA Kings in the 1970 World Cup, the German brand has accompanied some of the greatest names in history. Eusébio, our Black Panther, was also part of this heritage, leading Portugal to the top in the 1966 World Cup.

Today, PUMA continues to sponsor stars like Neymar, Luis Suárez, Griezmann, and Pulisic, and renowned teams such as Manchester City, AC Milan, and Olympique de Marseille. Portugal thus joins a constellation of champions, reinforcing its place among the most respected national teams in the world.

The Future of the National Team with PUMA

With qualification for the 2026 World Cup already guaranteed, the partnership between the FPF and PUMA gains even more relevance. Portugal prepares to face the greatest challenges in world football with renewed confidence, equipped with cutting-edge technology and a design that unites tradition and modernity.

This jersey is not just for the athletes. It is also for the fans who live each game intensely, who cheer in the stands or in front of the screen, and who carry with them the true "love for the shirt."

The 2026 World Cup will be the stage where Portugal promises to play, fight, and perhaps, conquer. For players and fans, wearing this jersey is to assume a commitment to history and the future. It is believing that the love for the shirt can take us even further.
