Ronaldo unveils new Portugal kits
National team's first PUMA offerings
Ended three-decade-long Nike deal
WHAT HAPPENED?
Ronaldo posed alongside men's and women's Portugal stars to unveil the national team's new home and away kits after their historic PUMA deal. The Portuguese football federation (FPF) ended their 27-year association with Nike as they switched kit manufacturers to PUMA in November. The latest home and away kits could be the final ones that Ronaldo will wear for Portugal, considering the 2026 World Cup is likely to be his last hurrah in international football.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The men's home kit has a brighter shade of Red than is traditionally associated with the Portuguese national team, along with gold and green detailing with a crew neck collar. The Quinas emblem from the national coat of arms has undergone a slight makeover to celebrate Portugal's legacy in football and to inspire the next generation to shine even brighter
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
On the historic deal, PUMA’s senior director of product line management performance apparel Marco Mueller said: "We are very proud to unveil the first-ever PUMA Portugal Home and Away kits for both the men’s and women’s teams. We are thrilled to partner with one of the most exciting national teams in the world and bring a new era to Portuguese football with custom products for both the men’s and women’s teams and create products that resonate with the incredible passion, culture and history of Portugal."
FPF´s chief marketing & commercial Officer Nuno Moura added: "With every thread and stitch, this collection marks the beginning of an exciting new era for FPF and our partnership with PUMA. These jerseys celebrate Portugal’s rich footballing heritage and beloved symbols while embodying the passion, creativity, and excellence that define us as one of the most iconic forces in global football.
