The Number on the Egypt Puma Kit Came Off
During Egypt's World Cup match against New Zealand, striker Mostafa Ziko was seen wearing a 'damaged' jersey after one of the digits on the front came off. Although he was wearing the number 11 shirt, one of the "1"s fell off, making it look like he was wearing number 1 instead.
The number appears to have been poorly heat-applied to the jersey and gradually peeled off due to sweat during the game. The incident occurred as Mostafa Ziko celebrated his goal, when one of the digits in his number 11 shirt detached, leaving only a single "1" visible on the front.

While official product pictures of the Puma kit display the chest numbers in gold, the actual shirts worn by the Moroccan national team feature a lighter, white-colored application. Big thanks to @rockonbaPES.
Alongside the retail discrepancies, there have been multiple reports of Puma kits easily ripping during tournament matches. These material failures have affected several of the brand's sponsored teams, including Morocco, Czechia, Egypt, and Paraguay.
