Paraguay kit manufacturer PUMA has released the country’s away jersey for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, presenting a design that takes a bold departure from conventional football aesthetics.
Built on a dark navy base, the shirt features an all-over abstract graphic print rendered in swirling shades of electric blue and teal — a pattern described as drawing inspiration from Paraguay’s rich natural landscape. The fluid, almost liquid visual effect covers the entire front of the shirt and extends across the sleeves and lower back panel, making it one of the more visually distinctive kits in this World Cup cycle.
The Paraguay World Cup 2026 away kit carries the APF (Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol) crest on the right chest and the PUMA wordmark on the left, both rendered in white to contrast against the dark base. A star sits at the back neckline, a small but intentional design detail. The back of the shirt transitions to a cleaner navy through the upper portion before the blue pattern re-emerges across the sleeves and hem — a deliberate design choice that keeps player names and numbers legible against a less busy background.
Paraguay debuted the 2026 away kit in international play during two friendly matches in March 2025 — first against Greece and then Morocco. The shorts and socks that complete the kit in are navy with teal-accented trim, maintaining consistency with the shirt’s color palette.
For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Paraguay has been drawn into a group alongside Australia, Türkiye, and the United States — one of the tournament’s co-host nations. The away kit will serve as the team’s alternate strip throughout their World Cup 2026 campaign as they look to navigate a competitive group stage. Paraguay last appeared at a World Cup in 2010, where they reached the quarterfinals, making this tournament a significant return to the global stage.
