Cancelled? Adidas X Speedportal 2022 World Cup Knockout Stage Boots Leaked
Oct 21, 2022, by Chris
Update: We can leak much better pictures of the white and gold Adidas X Speedportal 2022 World Cup knockout stage boots. However, we have been told the whole white & gold Adidas Al Hilm football boots collection will not be released. There have been problems with the production deadlines and therefore the pack has been scrapped.
Adidas have prepared a stylish football boots collection as part of the 2022 World Cup lineup - the Al Hilm pack.
The Adidas Al Hilm pack is Adidas' second 2022 World Cup collection after the Al Rihla pack. It is most likely to be worn from the knockout stage, or even later stages of the competition.
Al Hilm means The Dream
"Al Hilm" is the transliteration of Arabic characters that have the meaning of "the dream".

Real Madrid Debut 26-27 Home Kit

Chilean League Kit Rules Could Force Colo-Colo Signing Vozinha to Drop Famous Nickname
Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, who recently reached an agreement to join Chilean giants Colo-Colo following his standout performances at the 2026 World Cup, is facing an unexpected jersey regulation issue. According to official regulations enforced by the National Professional Football Association of Chile (ANFP), players are strictly forbidden from displaying nicknames on the back of their match shirts.
Under current league kit rules, players are only permitted to wear their official paternal or maternal surnames, optionally accompanied by a first initial. For the 40-year-old goalkeeper—whose full legal name is Josimar José Évora Dias—this mandate means his shirt would be restricted to reading Évora, Dias, or Évora Dias instead of the famous Vozinha name he has worn throughout his career.
Because the Vozinha name gained widespread global recognition during the tournament, Colo-Colo is concerned about the negative impact on shirt sales and marketing. The club has officially submitted a request to the ANFP seeking a special exemption, hoping to allow the goalkeeper to keep his familiar nickname on his official match kits.
