Turkey to Leave Nike After 20 Years?

In the recent 2026 World Cup match, Curaçao national team player Jearl Margaritha wore the F50 "Ice Cold Precision" boots, but in a custom version with a slightly darker colorway to perfectly match the blue shade of Curaçao's 2026 home kit. Big thanks to @abcdefutbol.

The custom F50 was designed by @studio_nusa and draws inspiration from the waves surrounding the Caribbean island. The boots also feature the phrase "The Blue Wave" on the outer side.

Former Uruguay international Luis Suarez was spotted in the stands during Uruguay's 2026 World Cup match against Cabo Verde. Suarez, watching his nation from the sidelines, appeared visibly stressed as the game unfolded, ultimately ending in a surprising draw.

Suarez appeared wearing the Uruguay 2026 away jersey, seemingly to encourage his younger teammates from the stands. Surprisingly, he chose to wear the number 7 shirt instead of the iconic number 9 that he wore during his playing days with the national team. Images of him reacting to the tense moments of the match quickly circulated online, capturing his passionate support for the national team and drawing a wave of reactions across social media.

Indonesian club Persija Jakarta have officially announced a new kit partnership with Adidas. The announcement was made on June 22, 2026, coinciding with the 499th anniversary of the city of Jakarta. Adidas will replace Juara as the club's official apparel partner, taking over the production of all kits and training gear starting from the upcoming 2026-27 season.

Persija's move to a major global brand like Adidas is seen as a significant upgrade and a new chapter for the club. Further details regarding the official launch date of the 2026-27 kits are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.

During Egypt's World Cup match against New Zealand, striker Mostafa Ziko was seen wearing a 'damaged' jersey after one of the digits on the front came off. Although he was wearing the number 11 shirt, one of the "1"s fell off, making it look like he was wearing number 1 instead.

The number appears to have been poorly heat-applied to the jersey and gradually peeled off due to sweat during the game. The incident occurred as Mostafa Ziko celebrated his goal, when one of the digits in his number 11 shirt detached, leaving only a single "1" visible on the front.

Fans looking to purchase the exact Morocco 2026-27 home kit worn by the players at the World Cup will find a noticeable difference in the name and number sets. While official product pictures of the Puma kit display the chest numbers in gold, the actual shirts worn by the Moroccan national team feature a lighter, white-colored application. Big thanks to @rockonbaPES.

Alongside the retail discrepancies, there have been multiple reports of Puma kits easily ripping during tournament matches. These material failures have affected several of the brand's sponsored teams, including Morocco, Czechia, Egypt, and Paraguay.
