The 2026 World Cup is approaching fast. Two teams that have captured fans' attention are Portugal and Saudi Arabia.
Portugal brings star power and European pedigree. Saudi Arabia brings Asian pride and a hunger to prove themselves after their shocking 2022 win over Argentina.
Both have released stunning 2026 kits. But which one should you buy?
This guide breaks down everything you need to know.
Portugal's 2026 home jersey features the iconic deep red – a shade darker than previous editions. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with green, representing the Portuguese flag.
The jersey features a wave-like embossed pattern across the fabric. This pays tribute to Portugal's Age of Discovery, when Portuguese explorers sailed across unknown oceans.
Inside the collar, a small astrolabe icon (an ancient navigation tool) is printed – a subtle nod to history that only the wearer sees.
Love him or not, Ronaldo is Portugal's heartbeat. The 41-year-old legend is likely playing his final World Cup. For fans, this is the last chance to own a Portugal jersey with his name.
Other stars: Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Rafael Leão (AC Milan).

Saudi Arabia's 2026 home jersey is a deep emerald green with gold accents. The color represents the nation's lush oases and Islamic heritage.
The jersey features geometric patterns inspired by traditional Saudi architecture and weaving. Unlike Portugal's wave pattern, Saudi's design feels more structured and ceremonial.
The gold details – from the crest to the sponsor logo – pop beautifully against the dark green base.
Al-Dawsari became a national hero when he scored the winning goal against Argentina in 2022. His celebration – a simple hand gesture – became iconic overnight.
He remains the team's captain and creative spark. For Saudi fans, his name on a jersey is a must-have.
Other stars: Feras Al-Brikan (forward), Saud Abdulhamid (right back).
