Nike Football’s official federation kits for the Fifa World Cup 2026 will cover the backs of players and fans alike, from Brazil and France, to China and Nigeria. A key element of the jerseys is Aero-Fit, Nike’s apparel cooling system, which claims to deliver twice the airflow of regular fabrics to help even the most athletic player – or boisterous supporter – stay cool.

Inspired by fan culture on the African continent, Ahluwalia came up with a joyful collection that reinterprets classic silhouettes from Puma’s archives in punchy colours such as the green of the Nigerian flag and vibrant hues drawn from Africa’s landscape.
