Neymar Returns to Latest Puma Boots, Won't Leave Puma
- Neymar Wears Puma Boots: Neymar wore the latest Puma Future 8 Ultimate boots in his first Santos match, dispelling rumors of a potential Puma exit.
- Puma's Plans for Neymar: Puma is planning to release new Neymar signature soccer cleats and collections soon.
- Puma and Neymar Relationship: Neymar is not ending his relationship with Puma despite prior speculation.
Update: Neymar wore the latest Puma Future 8 Ultimate football boots in his first Santos match after his return, ending speculation that his Puma deal could end soon. Watch out, as Puma is set to release new Neymar signature soccer cleats next week.
When returning to his old club, Santos, Neymar surprisingly wore old-gen blackout Puma Ultimate boots instead of the current-generation Puma Future 8 boots. Is this a sign that the relationship between Puma and Neymar is ending?
Is the relationship between Neymar and Puma in trouble?
Usually, a player wearing blackout boots is indicating that his contract with the brand that supplies his boots is about to expire and that he is looking for a new brand.
This makes even more sense as Neymar is currently Puma's top ambassador and Puma wouldn't want him wearing blackout boots, let alone the old generation of Future Ultimate boots.
According to exclusive information from Footy Headlines, Puma has plans to release signature boots and accompanying lifestyle collections for Neymar from now until the end of the year. However, if there is a problem in the relationship between the two, all these plans could be canceled.
Just like when Neymar left Nike to sign with Puma in 2020, all products in the Nike Neymar 2021 signature collection have been canceled.
Do you think Neymar and Puma will end their partnership after almost 5 years? Comment below.
Uruguay Requests FIFA 'Legacy' Patch for Muslera's 2026 World Cup Kit
The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has formally requested that FIFA allow goalkeeper Fernando Muslera to wear the special 'Legacy' patch on his jersey sleeve during the 2026 World Cup. The patch is designated for players who have participated in five or more World Cup tournaments, a milestone Muslera is reaching with his inclusion in the 2026 squad.
Muslera was initially excluded from receiving the patch by FIFA because he did not register any playing time during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, despite being part of the official squad. His previous World Cup appearances came in 2010, 2014, and 2018. The AUF is now pushing for his recognition alongside other five-time tournament veterans such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Neuer, and Luka Modrić.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper is expected to start in Uruguay's opening match of the 2026 World Cup. If FIFA approves the request, Muslera's jersey will feature the 'Legacy' patch, marking his long-standing service to the national team across five different World Cup campaigns.
