Al Ahly 26/27 Home Kit Released: Adidas Red with Woven Stripes

What does the Al Ahly 26/27 home kit look like?

Adidas released Al Ahly’s 2026/27 home kit on 27 July 2026, keeping the club’s red as the base and adding a wavy vertical stripe pattern woven into the fabric rather than printed on top (Footy Headlines, 2026). Black trim runs through the collar, cuffs and shoulders.

The collar is a rounded crew neck in black, matched by black sleeve cuffs and the three Adidas stripes on the shoulders. The Adidas logo sits on the right chest in solid black; the club crest keeps its usual place on the left. Front sponsorship comes from Haier and Vodafone, both in plain white lettering.

Shorts and socks are red to match. On a woven pattern like this one the shirt should read as a single block of colour from a distance, with the texture only visible up close. Al Ahly will wear the kit in domestic and African competition across the 26/27 campaign.

Why does this Al Ahly home kit matter more than most?

It’s the first shirt of a new four-season Adidas agreement. Al Ahly confirmed an extension in September 2025 that begins in 2026/27 and runs to the end of 2029/30 — four seasons, on what Ministry of Sport reported as improved financial terms (2025). So this kit sets the visual direction for four years, not one.

Our read: when a supplier signs a long extension, the first kit of the new cycle usually plays it safe. This one does. The wavy weave is the only real experiment, and woven detail of that sort rarely photographs well in a product shot — it’s designed to be seen on the fabric. Expect the away and third shirts to carry the risk instead.

Context matters too. Al Ahly are the record CAF Champions League winners with 12 titles, and the shirt sells across Egypt and far beyond it. A conservative red kit is a commercial decision as much as a design one.

Everything below comes from the release. Where the club hasn’t stated something — price, retail date — we’ve left it unannounced rather than guessing.

Where can you buy an Al Ahly home shirt now?

The 26/27 shirt isn’t in our catalogue yet — we’ll add it once it reaches retail. In the meantime our Al Ahly jersey range covers the recent seasons, including the 2025/26 home shirt and the 2025/26 away shirt.

If it’s the national side you’re after rather than the club, the Egypt shirt range is separate — and we’ve written a full Egypt 2026 World Cup buying guide for that.

Should you buy the fan version or the player version?

Fan versions use a looser cut and a heavier, more durable fabric. Player versions are tighter, lighter and built for playing in. Al Ahly hasn’t confirmed which versions of the 26/27 shirt will be sold, so the choice may come down to what reaches retail first.

We cover the trade-offs in detail in our fan vs player vs match version comparison. If you’re caught between sizes, start with the football shirt sizing guide.

Frequently asked questions

Has the Al Ahly 26/27 home kit been officially released?

Yes. Adidas and Al Ahly released the 26/27 home kit on 27 July 2026, so this is a confirmed launch rather than a leak (Footy Headlines, 2026). A retail price and a general on-sale date had not been announced at the time of writing.

What colour is the Al Ahly 26/27 home shirt?

Red, with black trim on the crew-neck collar, the sleeve cuffs and the three shoulder stripes. A wavy vertical stripe pattern is woven into the red fabric, and the shorts and socks are red to match the shirt.

Who sponsors the Al Ahly 26/27 home shirt?

Haier and Vodafone both appear on the front of the shirt in white lettering. The Adidas logo sits on the right chest in solid black, with the Al Ahly crest in its usual position on the left chest.

How long will Adidas make Al Ahly’s kits?

Until at least the end of 2029/30. Al Ahly confirmed a four-season extension in September 2025 that starts with this 26/27 campaign, on improved financial terms (Ministry of Sport, 2025). This shirt is the first of that new cycle.

Is the 26/27 shirt available at 433FC?

Not yet — it will be added once it reaches retail. Recent seasons are already stocked in our Al Ahly range, including the 2025/26 home and away shirts, and the Egypt national team range is listed separately.
