Children's kits from national football teams

The great nations of Europe and their iconic shirts

Italy, four-time world champions in 1934, 1938, 1982, and 2006, wear the azzurro blue, a colour inherited from the House of Savoy, and adidas have dressed them since 2023. Germany has also won four World Cups, in 1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014, traditionally dressed in white and black.

Spain, la Roja, has won the Euros in 1964, 2008, 2012, and 2024, and its 2010 generation brought the country its first world title. Portugal, European champions in 2016, and Belgium, third in the 2018 World Cup, complete a European selection where every child can find the shirt of their country or heritage.

From national teams to clubs: all the children's teams

After the national team, it's time for clubs. Ligue 1 for kids brings together French clubs, the Premier League for kids features English clubs, and La Liga for kids includes Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The Bundesliga for kids unites Bayern Munich and its rivals, along with other kids' clubs like Benfica, FC Porto, or Ajax. Everything can be found in the children's teams, and larger sizes go to the adult nations.

Argentina, Mexico: the shirts of the Americas

With its sky blue and white vertical stripes, Argentina has one of the most recognisable shirts in the world. The Albiceleste has been crowned world champions in 1978, 1986 with Diego Maradona, and 2022 in Qatar, with adidas being the long-time supplier for the team.

Mexico, which hosted the World Cup in 1970 and 1986 before co-hosting it with the United States and Canada, traditionally plays in green, with an away shirt often inspired by Mexican culture. These kits appeal to both children from families originating from these countries and young fans of South American football.

Morocco, Algeria, Ivory Coast: the pride of African football

Morocco made history in 2022 as the first African team to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup; Puma dresses the Atlas Lions in red and green. Algeria, winner of the Africa Cup of nations in 1990 and 2019, plays in white and green, colours that the Fennecs wear proudly at home.

The Ivory Coast, three-time African champions in 1992, 2015, and the 2023 edition held at home, proudly wears its bright orange. For these teams, home, away, and training shirts are available in children's sizes, with the possibility of personalising with a name on the back.

The right moments for a national shirt

A national shirt is mostly worn during major tournaments, but it's a gift for the whole year. Black Friday and the festive season make it a unifying gift, followed by children's promotions during the winter sales. The spring French Days for kids precede the summer competitions, before the summer sales and the resumption. Past tournament shirts go to clearance sales, and every order is prepared and shipped within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Italy play in blue when its flag is green, white, and red?

The azzurro blue pays tribute to the House of Savoy, the royal family that ruled Italy when the national team adopted this colour in 1911. The nickname Azzurri comes directly from this choice.

What do the stars above a national team's badge represent?

Each star corresponds to a world championship title won by the national team. Germany and Italy have four stars, and it's often the first detail that children notice on a shirt.

What’s the difference between a match shirt and a training shirt?

The match shirt features the official colours of the national team. The training shirt, or prematch shirt, is what players wear before kick-off: its more relaxed design makes it a unique alternative.

Can a child wear a national team shirt to play football?

Yes, the supporter version of the shirt is designed for movement: breathable fabric, loose fit, it handles well during games with friends and training sessions. Wash it inside out to preserve the badge.

Why is Argentina called Albiceleste?

Albiceleste means white and sky blue in Spanish, the colours of the Argentine flag mirrored on the shirt with vertical stripes. Supporters use it to refer to both the team and its shirt.
