Granit Xhaka's Boots Against France
Based on the Under Armour ClutchFit Force 2.0 soccer cleats, initiailly launched in late 2015, Xhaka's boots were hand-painted by well-known boots customizer Kickasso, who's worked together on many similar jobs with other players and stores before.
Predominantly black, the boots worn by Granit Xhaka against France display all of the player's tattoos, resulting in a truly unique and special design.
"All my tattoos: Crown with a G, Bob 92 my best friend who is like family to me. Rose symbolizes the love for my wife and my mother. I owe them everything. Agon is my cousin who supports me whenever he can and is a role model."

Ajax to Lose Ziggo as Main Shirt Sponsor
Dutch telecommunications company Ziggo has announced it will step down as the main shirt sponsor of Ajax following the conclusion of the 2026-27 season. This decision will bring an end to a long-standing partnership that first began in January 2015, marking a 12.5-year run on the front of the iconic Amsterdam kits.
VodafoneZiggo stated that the decision not to extend the current agreement stems from a strategic shift to focus on new brand initiatives and partnerships outside of football. The current deal, which is reportedly valued at around €10 million to €12 million per year, leaves a significant commercial spot to fill on the Ajax jersey.
Ajax is now actively searching for a replacement main sponsor to take over the front-of-shirt rights starting from the 2027-28 season. Fans will see the familiar Ziggo logo on the club's shirts for one final campaign before a new era begins for the Dutch giants.

South Korea Forced to Change Away Kit Font Color for 2026 World Cup
South Korea have been forced to change the nameset color on their 2026 away kit to comply with FIFA equipment regulations. The original light green names and numbers, which were worn during the team's pre-tournament friendlies, have been replaced with navy for the 2026 World Cup.
The change was made to increase the visibility of the names and numbers from a distance. The original light green color did not provide enough contrast against the light purple and white camouflage-style pattern of the Nike away shirt, violating FIFA's strict rules regarding the legibility of player identification.
