The leaked images of the black Portugal 2026 kit earlier are not Portugal's 2026 away shirt, but rather a special edition jersey that Puma will release for Portugal ahead of the 2026 World Cup, as a tribute to Eusébio, the legendary "Pantera Negra".
Eusébio is widely regarded as one of the greatest Portuguese footballers of all time. He won the Ballon d’Or in 1965, was the top scorer of the 1966 World Cup with 9 goals, and led Portugal to a historic third-place finish in England.
Portugal 2026 Special Kit
This is the new Puma Portugal special jersey for 2026.
The Puma Portugal 2026 special jersey is predominantly black, featuring an all-over tonal pattern of the historic Portuguese shield crest, used by the federation between 1914 and 1966.
The most unique detail is found on the back of the collar, where the words “Pantera Negra” are placed. This not only references the Puma Portugal 2026 special jersey’s sleek panther-like aesthetic but also honors Eusébio, who carried the nickname “Black Panther”.
Additional details include green, red, and gold trim on the cuffs and collar, reflecting the colors of the Portuguese flag, while the Puma logo appears in light gold.
