CONMEBOL President Suggests Teams to Wear Retro Kits in 2030 World Cup
Oct 12, 2022, by Chris
The president of the South American football federation, Alejandro Domínguez, has come up with a special idea for the FIFA 2030 World.
France vs Brazil FIFA 2004 Centenary Match
The 2030 World Cup mark the 100-years anniversary of the World Cup
The FIFA 2030 World Cup will be the 24th FIFA World Cup. But what is more important is that it will mark the centennial of the first World Cup. The first World Cup took place in 1930 in Uruguay.
CONMEBOL President Makes Appeal For 2030 World Cup to Take Place in South America
The first-ever World Cup took place in 1930 in Uruguay.
Alejandro Domínguez made an appeal to FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, for the 2030 World Cup to be held in South America. It would be, in the words of the leader, "a gesture to honor the memory" of those who made the first edition of the World Cup possible, organized in 1930 in Uruguay.
The speech took place during a visit by Gianni Infantino to Paraguay, for the inauguration of a training center dedicated to women's football.
The host of the 2030 World Cup will be decided in 2024
The host of the 2030 World Cup will be decided in 2024. Today there are two officially launched bids: a South American one formed by Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile, and another from Europe with Portugal and Spain.
"There may be more luxurious, more modern stadiums in the world. We may even think that other countries can make a replica of the Centenary Stadium, but the truth is that there is only one Centenary Stadium," declared Alejandro Domínguez, about the stadium built in Montevideo to host matches of the first World Cup in history, in 1930.
In 2004, Brazil and France wore retro kits for the FIFA Centenary match
"History cannot be bought with money, luxury does not make history. I invite you [the Fifa president] to have a World Cup here in 2030, to play with the same uniforms [of 1930], to go back to the essence. We are ready to have the World Cup in 2030".
It would be not the first time for national teams to wear retro kits for a centennial. In 2004, for the FIFA Centenary Match, France faced Brazil wearing kits from the early 1900s.

Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.

The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso.

A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
