Adidas have celebrated Lionel Messi's stunning free-kick goal in Argentina's 3-1 victory over Jordan at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Following the match, the brand posted an image of Messi wearing Argentina's 2026 away shirt with the number 19, paying tribute to the 19 World Cup goals he has scored across six tournament appearances. At the same time, the image serves as a nostalgic nod to the young Messi, who made his World Cup debut wearing the No. 19 shirt exactly 20 years ago.

The post features the caption "19 on his back, 19 in the back of the net" alongside "full circle. el ultimo tango", referencing his return to the squad number he first wore for the national team. Messi came off the bench to score in the 80th minute, marking his sixth goal of the tournament and extending his lead in the Golden Boot race at 39 years old.

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group L match between Croatia and Ghana, Canadian referee Drew Fischer was spotted wearing a custom Adidas referee uniform featuring the brand's iconic three stripes in the red and white colors of the Canadian flag.

During Uzbekistan's 2026 World Cup opener against Colombia, captain Eldor Shomurodov caught the eye with a pair of beautifully customized football boots. The striker took to the pitch in a personalized edition of the Adidas F50 that proudly displayed the colors of the Uzbekistan national flag. Thanks to @abcdefutbol for the spot.

Shomurodov opted for a clean white base for his Adidas F50 boots, featuring a clever lateral customization. The iconic Adidas three stripes were specifically recolored to represent the national flag, incorporating the distinct blue, white, and green bands separated by thin red borders. This subtle modification seamlessly integrated his national identity directly into the brand's recognized logo, resulting in a clean and highly professional look for the tournament.

Assistant referee Kyle Atkins has been spotted wearing a heavily customized pair of Adidas F50 boots during the 2026 World Cup. Originally part of the Adidas 2025 'Road to Glory' pack, the boots were modified to suit the traditional blackout aesthetic typically expected of match officials.

The boots also feature a personalized detail on the side reading 'tierno WC26', highlighting their specific creation for the 2026 tournament. Thanks to @abcdefutbol for the spot.

In Tunisia's 2026 World Cup group stage match against Japan at Estadio Monterrey, midfielder Mortadha Ben Ouanes caught the attention of boot spotters by wearing the classic Adidas Messi Mirosar10 boots.

Originally launched in late 2014, the Adidas Messi Mirosar10 boots were designed exclusively for the Argentine to celebrate his childhood in Rosario. The orange and green colorway pays tribute to Messi's first youth club, reflecting the local derby colors of his hometown. Ben Ouanes' decision to wear the 12-year-old signature boots provided a unique throwback moment on the game's biggest stage.

Lionel Messi has officially become the all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history, netting his 17th goal in Argentina's match against Austria on June 22, 2026. To celebrate this historic milestone, Adidas immediately published a dedicated graphic on their social media channels, crowning their signature athlete with the caption RECORD BREAKER. HISTORY MAKER. The goal moves Messi past Miroslav Klose's long-standing record of 16 World Cup goals.

The achievement comes just days after Messi scored a hat-trick earlier in the tournament to tie the record. During this historic 2026 World Cup run, Messi has been wearing the Adidas F50 'El Último Tango' signature boots.

In the recent 2026 World Cup match, Curaçao national team player Jearl Margaritha wore the F50 "Ice Cold Precision" boots, but in a custom version with a slightly darker colorway to perfectly match the blue shade of Curaçao's 2026 home kit. Big thanks to @abcdefutbol.
