Real Madrid to Wear Intercontinental Cup Winners Badge After All
- Real Madrid Kit Badge: Real Madrid will feature the FIFA Intercontinental Cup winners badge on their 2025-2026 Adidas home jersey, which is available as a customization option in the official club store.
- Badge Options: The Real Madrid store lists the 2025-2026 home kit with badge add-ons which include the Intercontinental badge with the Champions League, La Liga, or Club World Cup options.
- Future Badge: If Real Madrid wins the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, they will switch to the gold, round 2025 Club World Cup winners badge for four years, replacing the Intercontinental badge.
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.

La Liga Sleeve Badge & Intercontinental Cup Winners Badge
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.

Union Berlin 26-27 Home Kit to Be Released June 8
German newspaper BILD has confirmed our leak of the Adidas 1. FC Union Berlin home kit for the 2026-27 season. The design shifts from the prior red and white striped look to a predominantly red shirt with white accents on the collar and shoulders. An embossed geometric pattern across the front and sleeves directly references the steel roof structure of Stadion An der Alten Försterei as a tribute to the club's historic ground. Sponsors Adidas, Raisin and Kermi remain unchanged from the previous season.
The kit will be officially unveiled on June 8, an earlier date chosen to avoid the FIFA World Cup window running from June 11 to July 19.

Arsenal Sends Kit Without Adidas Logo & Arsenal Crest

LEAKED: Adidas to Upgrade Leeds United to Local Elite Tier
As spotted by @theadelites, a new customisation option on the Leeds United club shop website allows fans to chosse between replica and authentic kits (added by error too early). This probably means that Adidas has upgraded the club from the B Premium tier to one of the Local A Elite tiers. The move gives fans the option to select authentic kits built around advanced Climacool+ performance technology.
Reports from February indicated similar upgrades for clubs including Ajax and Lyon ahead of the 2026-27 season, but Adidas apparently postponed/scrapped these. Adidas previously already upgraded British teams Celtic, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
