Correction: Uruguay to Keep 4 Stars for 2026 World Cup - FIFA Confirmed Decision in 2022

  • Clarification: A previous report stating FIFA ordered Uruguay to remove two stars from their crest was incorrect.
  • FIFA's Ruling: In May 2022, FIFA confirmed that Uruguay is permitted to display four stars on their jersey for the 2022 World Cup and all subsequent tournaments, resolving a controversy from 2021.
  • Historical Context: Uruguay's four stars represent their victories in the 1924 and 1928 Olympic football tournaments (recognized as FIFA World Championships) and the 1930 and 1950 World Cups.

Update: A few days ago, Footy Headlines reported that FIFA had ordered Uruguay to remove two stars from their crest for the 2026 World Cup. We must clarify that this information was incorrect.

We have since verified that the issue was definitively resolved years ago. Uruguay will retain their four stars for the 2026 World Cup, consistent with a ruling FIFA made back in 2022.

Uruguay to Keep 4 Stars for 2026 World Cup

The rumor regarding the removal of the stars stems from a real controversy that occurred in 2021. At that time, FIFA - through an email sent to kit supplier Puma, unofficially requested that the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) remove two stars, arguing that only the 1930 and 1950 World Cup titles should count.

However, the AUF launched a rigorous defense, utilizing historical documents to prove the validity of their four world titles.

FIFA's Official Verdict (May 2022)

Following the scandal, FIFA officially backed down. In May 2022, FIFA confirmed that Uruguay is permitted to display four stars on their jersey for the 2022 World Cup and all subsequent tournaments.

This decision was a victory for Uruguayan historians, who successfully argued that the 1924 (Paris) and 1928 (Amsterdam) Olympic football tournaments were "FIFA Open World Championships" organized by FIFA before the World Cup existed.

  • 1924: Olympic Gold (Recognized as FIFA World Championship)
  • 1928: Olympic Gold (Recognized as FIFA World Championship)
  • 1930: FIFA World Cup Winner
  • 1950: FIFA World Cup Winner

Therefore, despite the recent rumors circulating online, fans can expect the Nike Uruguay 2026 World Cup kits to proudly feature the traditional four stars above the crest.

We apologize for the confusion caused by our previous report.

German Regionalliga West side FC Gütersloh and new technical supplier Patrick have officially launched the club's 26-27 home kit.

Odd Manufacturing Flaw: Legia Warsaw 26-27 Away Kits Feature Different Trefoil Placements

Legia Warsaw and Adidas officially unveiled the club's new 26-27 away kit, bringing back the iconic Adidas Originals Trefoil logo for the first time in over thirty years. The retro-inspired shirt features a green base decorated with thin white vertical pinstripes and a classic polo collar. However, as the kit hit the shelves in the official club shop, fans quickly noticed an unexpected production quirk.

In-store videos and photos shared by fans show that the positioning of the Adidas Trefoil logo is inconsistent across different jerseys. Due to variations in how the heat-applied logo or pattern was aligned during manufacturing, the Trefoil sits in a noticeably different spot relative to the vertical pinstripes on almost every shirt. On some jerseys, the logo sits directly centered on a pinstripe, while on others it is offset into the green space or sits higher up near the collar seam.

While slight manufacturing tolerances are common in sportswear, seeing such obvious alignment differences across retail stock is an unusual sight for a major Adidas launch. Fans picking up the new 26-27 Legia kit in person may want to inspect multiple hangers in the store to find the exact placement they like best.
