Bafana Bafana unveil new adidas kit to be worn at FIFA 2026 World Cup

Following the end of their association with LeCoq Sportive, SAFA signed a deal with German giants adidas.

The new kit was unveiled alongside Banyana Banyana's new uniform to be used for 2026 and 2027.

The design is modelled on the shirt from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and pays homage to the country's 12 official languages.

"Today, adidas in collaboration with the South African Football Association (SAFA) proudly reveal the new 2026/2027 home jersey for both Bafana Bafana and Banyana Banyana – a bold evolution of an iconic design that captures the spirit of South African football," read part of a SAFA press release.

"Drawing inspiration from the unforgettable 2010 jersey – a symbol of pride during a defining moment for South African football – the new design honours that legacy while stepping confidently into a new era.

"The 2026/2027 home jersey retains the unmistakable yellow base with green trim, a colour palette synonymous with national pride. Elevated detailing and refined construction modernise the silhouette, delivering a performance-driven jersey built for the demands of today's global game.

"Most notably, the updated design pays tribute to South Africa's 12 official languages – a powerful reflection of the nation's diversity, unity, and shared love for football. The subtle graphic elements woven into the fabric symbolise the many voices that rise together in stadiums across the country and around the world."
