Long-sleeve football shirts are experiencing a massive resurgence in kit culture, and it appears Puma is finally ready to fully embrace the trend for the international stage. According to reliable kit leak expert Opaleak, the German brand is preparing to release long-sleeve versions of its upcoming international kits ahead of the tournament in North America.
Puma to Release Long-Sleeve Kits for Portugal & Morocco
The first solid confirmation of this new strategy comes from the African continent. New leaks reveal that the Morocco 2026 World Cup home and away kits will indeed be released in a long-sleeve option.
Historically, Puma was notorious among collectors for almost never releasing long-sleeve kits to the general public, usually restricting them exclusively to player-issue stock while offering only short-sleeve replica and authentic shirts in stores.
However, we began to see a major shift in this approach last year. When Puma officially took over the Portugal contract from Nike, they pleased many fans by making the Portugal long-sleeve kits available for retail purchase.
The remaining national teams, such as Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Senegal, Ghana, ... will still only receive short-sleeve jersey options.
All Puma 2026 World Cup kits feature bold and distinctive designs. They are inspired by the unique cultures of each nation, creating a meaningful and expressive look.

Adidas Long-Sleeve Authentic Away Kits - Only for the "Elite" Nations
While the news is exciting, there is a small catch. Adidas will not be releasing long-sleeve authentic away kits for every nation in their 2026 portfolio.
BREAKING: Adidas to Release Long-Sleeve Authentic Away Kits for 2026 World Cup
As of right now, if you check Puma's official online stores, these long-sleeve national team options are either listed as "not available" or haven't been loaded onto the storefronts yet. However, given the leaks, we expect them to officially go on sale very soon as the World Cup hype continues to build.
