Update: Footy Headlines can reveal a further close-up image of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup winners' badge on the chest of Real Madrid's 2025–26 home kit.
Real Madrid is set to wear the FIFA Intercontinental Cup winners badge on their new 2025-2026 Adidas home jersey, following its notable absence last season. Evidence for this comes as the badge is now a confirmed customization option for the new 25-26 kit on the official club store.
Real Madrid Finally Offers 2024 Intercontinental Cup Winners Badge
The official Real Madrid store lists the Men's Authentic Home Kit 25-26 with several badge add-ons, with all options featuring the "Intercontinental" badge - Champions League, La Liga, or Club World Cup. The availability of official player kits strongly indicates their on-pitch use.

This confirms that Real Madrid, winners of the 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, will sport the new shield-shaped gold winners badge on their chests. This follows earlier speculation when the club did not wear the badge after their December 2024 victory.
Future Badge Scenario
If Real Madrid win the revamped 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, they would almost certainly switch to the all-new gold, round 2025 Club World Cup winners badge. This would then be worn for four years, replacing the Intercontinental badge on their match kits.
If they do not win the 2025 Club World Cup, they will likely continue wearing the Intercontinental Cup 2024 winners badge until a new Intercontinental champion is crowned.

Valenciennes FC 26-27 Third Kit Released
French club Valenciennes FC and Danish brand Hummel have officially released their new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Completing the club's set of shirts for the campaign, the new release pays homage to the traditional lace-making heritage and textile craftsmanship of Valenciennes and the wider Hainaut region.
The Hummel Valenciennes 26-27 third jersey features a deep blue base highlighted by subtle vertical bands incorporating intricate floral lace graphics. These patterned columns are framed by thin yellow pinstripes, matching the signature Hummel chevrons on the shoulders. A vintage-styled white polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs add contrast, while the club crest and Toyota sponsor logo are rendered in clean white.
Continuing the theme of embedding local identity into their designs—following the home shirt inspired by museum stained glass and the away shirt featuring regional symbols—the Valenciennes FC 26-27 third kit is available now via the club's official online store and physical club shop.

What If Adidas Made Barcelona Kits?
Kit collector and insider @memorabilia1899 has shared an intriguing concept imagining how FC Barcelona would look if Adidas were the club's technical sponsor. Despite Barcelona having a long-term partnership with Nike extended through 2038, the fantasy of the German sportswear giant designing the Blaugrana's kits continues to spark conversation among football shirt enthusiasts.
The Adidas Barcelona concept leans heavily into retro aesthetics, combining classic vertical red and blue stripes with the iconic Trefoil logo on the chest. A dark blue polo collar, styled with 'BARÇA 1899' detailing, is paired with gold-orange accents seen across the Three Stripes on the shoulders and the centered Spotify sponsor logo. The full look is completed by navy blue shorts and matching socks.
Would you like to see Adidas manufacture Barcelona kits in the future, or does Nike remain the perfect fit for the Catalan giants?
