adidas Football has unveiled the Saudi Arabia away kit for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a white jersey that integrates the nation’s footballing legacy with its cultural roots.
A key feature of the shirt is the sublimated jacquard pattern integrated into the white fabric, which takes inspiration from the geometric weave of the traditional Saudi shemagh. While subtle and most apparent under direct lighting, this texture ensures the design is rooted in Saudi national identity.
Utilizing white as the primary base, the colorway features accents of matte gold and deep forest green. The shirt includes a classic V-neck collar with a two-tone gold-and-green ribbed knit, a style reminiscent of adidas designs from the late 1980s and early 1990s. This choice serves as a clear indicator of the kit’s heritage-focused aesthetic.
The vintage theme is furthered by the use of the classic adidas Trefoil logo and alternating green and gold three stripes across the shoulders. An all-gold Saudi Arabia Football Federation (SAFF) crest is positioned on the left chest, flanked by Arabic script and “SAUDI” text.
Additionally, the Saudi Arabian national coat of arms—depicting a palm tree and crossed swords—is embroidered in gold on the rear neckline as a national marker.
The complete Saudi Arabia World Cup 2026 adidas away uniform consists of the white jersey paired with white shorts containing the SAFF crest and white socks detailed with gold and green hoops. This cohesive kit debuted on-pitch during international friendlies against Serbia and Egypt in March.
Saudi Arabia is set to use this kit during their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign, competing in a group that includes Uruguay, Spain, and Cape Verde. By opting for a white away strip, the design references historical national performances, with the heritage-leaning elements serving to acknowledge that footballing tradition.
