adidas Football has unveiled the Belgium adidas home and away kits for the FIFA World Cup 2026, introducing a design direction that blends football identity with cultural references.
The new Belgium 2026 jersey range will be used throughout the national team’s World Cup campaign, with the kits first worn during the March 2026 international fixtures against Mexico and the United States. Belgium head into the tournament drawn alongside Egypt, Iran, and New Zealand in the group stage.
The standout element of the release is the Red Devils 2026 World Cup away kit, which takes inspiration from Belgian artist René Magritte and the wider surrealist movement associated with the country. The design incorporates a light blue base combined with pink and white tones, complemented by black detailing.
The graphic print across the shirt is deliberately abstract, intended to evoke interpretation rather than present a fixed visual narrative. Subtle references are embedded within the pattern, including shapes that resemble footballs, pitch markings, and elements tied to the Royal Belgian FA crest.
In keeping with the surrealist theme, the Belgium World Cup 2026 jersey also includes a textual detail inspired by Magritte’s well-known work “The Treachery of Images.” Positioned inside the neckline, the phrase “Ceci n’est pas un maillot” (This is not a jersey) offers a reinterpretation of the original concept.
The inclusion reflects adidas’ attempt to connect football apparel with broader artistic expression, while still maintaining the functional aspects expected at international level.
Another notable feature of the Belgium 2026 away jersey is the use of adidas Originals branding, marking the first time in the modern era that this logo appears on a Red Devils away shirt.
This choice gives the kit a slightly different visual identity compared to recent tournament releases, aligning it more closely with heritage-inspired designs while still incorporating contemporary materials and construction.
