Adidas, Nike and Puma Will Not Release New Kits for 2024 Africa Cup/Asian Cup
- No New Kits for Major Tournaments: Adidas, Nike, and Puma will not release new kits for the 2024 Africa Cup and Asian Cup.
- 2022 Kits to be Used: Teams sponsored by these three brands will wear their 2022 kits at the upcoming tournaments, with a couple of exceptions.
- Future Kit Releases: Adidas, Nike and Puma will mostly release new kits for National Teams in March/April 2024, with some in June/July after the AFCON and Asian Cup.
Two major international tournaments will kick off in January 2024- the AFCON (13 January) and Asian Cup (12 January). However, the three major sports brands, Adidas, Nike, and Puma, will not launch any new kits for their teams in these two tournaments.
Adidas, Nike and Puma to Release No New Kits for 2024 Africa Cup/Asian Cup
For the 2023 Asian Cup, Nike will supply kits for 6 teams, Adidas for 4 teams, and Puma for 1 team:
- Nike: Australia, China, Hong Kong, Qatar, South Korea and Malaysia
- Adidas: Iraq, Japan, Saudi Arabia and UAE
- Puma: Bahrain
For the 2023 AFCON, Puma will supply kits for 6 teams, Adidas has one, and so does Nike:
- Puma: Egypt, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Morocco and Senegal
- Adidas: Algeria
- Nike: Nigeria
Guinea released new 2024 kits, but these are customized Puma teamwear and no direct kits from the German brand.
This means that all teams sponsored by Nike, Adidas and Puma will wear 2022 kits at the 2023 Asian Cup and AFCON 2023, with the exception of Guinea and Iraq (who recently signed a deal with Adidas - the Iraq kits are also teamwear).
Algeria and Japan will get new kits in June 2024 - five months after the continental tournaments
Adidas, Nike and Puma will launch most of their new national team kits around March/April 2024, while some will get new kits in June/July (Algeria, Jamaica, Japan). The American and European national teams can use the new kits immediately at Euro 2024 and Copa America 2024.

Nike Pure Swansea 26-27 Kits Released
Marking their highly anticipated return to the Cymru South, Welsh side Swansea University FC have officially unveiled their new kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 campaign.
Supplied by Nike through teamwear specialists Direct Soccer, the new release provides the university team with a sharp aesthetic as they prepare for life back in the second tier of the Welsh football pyramid.
The standout of the release is the eye-catching away shirt, which boasts a vibrant mint green base. The front of the jersey is defined by a thick, solid black central vertical stripe, perfectly flanked by thinner black pinstripes running down the length of the torso. A clean white crew-neck collar and matching white Nike Swoosh add a crisp contrast to the design. The home kit is bright orange.
Neymar to Retain Brazil No. 10 Shirt for 2026 World Cup
The debate over Brazil’s most iconic shirt number has been officially settled ahead of the 2026 World Cup. It has been confirmed that Neymar will retain the famous No. 10 jersey for the upcoming tournament in North America.
Following a lengthy period away from the national team due to injury, questions had naturally arisen regarding the future of the prestigious shirt. During Neymar's prolonged absence, the Brazilian No. 10 was shared among the squad's other attacking stars. Both Vinicius Junior and Raphinha have donned the historic number in recent international fixtures.
Despite their growing influence and status within the Seleção, both players have willingly stepped aside out of respect for the veteran forward. Highlighting the squad's unity on the matter, Vinicius Junior openly addressed the situation, stating clearly that the shirt "obviously belongs to Neymar."
Earlier rumors suggested that Neymar might adopt the No. 13 jersey.
Do you agree with the decision to keep Neymar in the No. 10 shirt, or was it time to pass it on to a younger player like Vinicius Junior? Let us know in the comments below.
