Aktie
In January 2025, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) commenced a new chapter by partnering with Puma as their official kit supplier, concluding a 28-year association with Nike. This strategic alliance encompasses outfitting all national teams, including men's, women's, youth, futsal, beach football, and e-sports squads.
Puma's inaugural design for Portugal's home kit features a classic red base complemented by gold and green accents, reflecting the nation's traditional colors. The jersey incorporates a subtle pattern inspired by the Quinas emblem from the national coat of arms, symbolizing Portugal's rich football heritage. A crew neck collar enhances the timeless aesthetic, blending tradition with modern design elements.
The debut of this new home kit occurred during a "Legends Match" in January 2025, where former Portuguese football stars showcased the attire on the pitch. This event not only celebrated the nation's football legacy but also marked the beginning of Puma's collaboration with the FPF.
Puma has prioritized performance and sustainability in the kit's production. The jerseys are crafted using Puma's ULTRAWEAVE fabric, designed to reduce weight and friction, thereby enhancing player comfort and performance. Additionally, the replica versions are produced through Puma's RE:FIBRE initiative, utilizing at least 95% recycled textile waste and other used polyester materials, aligning with eco-friendly practices.
This partnership signifies a significant evolution in Portugal's football attire, merging Puma's innovative design and sustainable manufacturing with the FPF's commitment to honoring national heritage. Fans and players alike can anticipate a blend of tradition and modernity as Portugal embarks on this new era in football fashion.
