2026 World Cup Semi-Finals Kit Matchups
Huge thanks to Emilio Sansolini for the base image.
In the first semi-final, Nike-sponsored France will face off against Adidas-sponsored Spain. The second semi-final features a mirror image of this brand clash, as England, kitted out by Nike, takes on Adidas' defending champions, Argentina. With Puma and other competitors eliminated in the earlier knockout stages, the narrative is solely focused on the "Big Two."
Depending on the results, the 2026 World Cup Final could feature a direct battle between Adidas and Nike, or we could see a single-brand final where either Adidas or Nike supplies both finalists.
