Spain's men's national football team has shared the official group photograph for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The image captures the full 26-man squad under head coach Luis de la Fuente, presented as the team representing the entire country ahead of the tournament in Canada, Mexico and the USA.

Interestingly, all of the players are wearing the 2026 EQT Retro jacket, featuring a design inspired by the iconic Adidas Equipment aesthetic of the 1990s.

Ebbsfleet United have released their new home shirt for the 2026-27 season. The red design marks the club's 80th anniversary and draws direct inspiration from the 1998-99 kit, featuring a classic 90s aesthetic with clean lines and heritage details.

The shirt includes Gravesend & Northfleet lettering beneath the reverse neck as a nod to the club's history. It is available in both short and long sleeve versions, with Morrow appearing as the front sponsor.

In the recent friendly match between the Netherlands and Algeria, the Dutch players appeared with a special pennant made from assembled LEGO pieces, replacing the traditional match pennant.

This was part of a collaboration between the KNVB (Dutch Football Association) and LEGO in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The partnership, announced earlier in 2026 and running through at least EURO 2028, focuses on encouraging play, creativity and movement among children and football fans through shared initiatives.

As part of the campaign leading into the FIFA World Cup 2026, one million free orange LEGO bricks are being distributed across the Netherlands on June 3 at LEGO stores, Intertoys and Dreamland locations. Fans are invited to build items supporting the Oranje team and share their creations, with the activation tied to the #NEDALG event.

FC Utrecht have released their 2026-27 away kit, made by Castore.

Inspired by the 'Release The Tiger' motto, the Utrecht 2026-27 away kit features subtle tiger stripe patterns integrated across the shirt that become more prominent during movement. The kit captures the club's determined and fearless mentality.
