FIFA has published its equipment regulations for 2025 and the next years ahead, which are implemented across all FIFA competitions including the 2026 World Cup and 2025 Club World Cup.
FIFA 2025 Equipment Regulations - Kit Elements
The 2025 FIFA Equipment Regulations include everything teams and manufacturers need to ensure for their equipment, with a special focus on the match kits.
In total, the FIFA 2025 Equipment Regulations cover 115 pages. According to Footy Headlines' review, the 115-page document maintains existing specifications without introducing significant changes. In the last pages, we find a compact overview of the elements allowed/needed on a football kit, which we take a closer look at here.
There are slightly different rules between Club and National team competitions. The most remarkable difference is that clubs are allowed to have a main sponsor, while national teams are not allowed to do so.
Meanwhile, there are several extra elements clubs/national teams could add but are not doing. For example, hardly any club team has front numbers, and hardly any teams make use of the secondary Team Symbol on the front.
Front of Shirt:
- Player numbers: 10-15cm height, 1-3cm stroke width
- Team/Club emblem: Maximum 100cm²
- Team/Country name: Maximum 12cm²
- Manufacturer logo: Maximum 20cm²
- Technology labels: Maximum 10cm²
- Quality/sustainability seals: Maximum 10cm²

- Number height: 20-35cm (women), 25-35cm (men)
- Minimum 4cm spacing between name and number

Shorts:
- Player numbers: 10-15cm height
- Team emblem: Maximum 50cm²
- Technology label: Maximum 10cm²

Key Differences Between Clubs & National Teams:
- National teams: Can display FIFA Winners' Stars (max 2cm diameter) and national flags (max 25cm²)

These regulations will be enforced at all FIFA competitions starting in 2025, including the Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup.

2026 World Cup Final Kits Prediction
Vietnamese kit experts @jerseystory_vn have carried out their prediction on match colors for the upcoming 2026 World Cup Final, where they suggest there would be no surprises in both teams' choices.
Spain as the designated "home team" will very likely return to their classic red home kit, paired with blue shorts and socks as usual. Therefore, Argentina would be able to stick to the lucky home kit variation of white and sky blue shirt, white shorts and white socks.
This is the tie where we believe the kit choices would not differ no matter who is to choose first.
