The short version: South Africa’s 2026 FIFA World Cup home kit is confirmed. Adidas has taken over from Le Coq Sportif and given Bafana Bafana a yellow shirt with green trim that leans heavily on the much-loved 2010 jersey. It is on sale now, in time for South Africa’s first World Cup since they hosted the tournament 16 years ago.

Adidas back on the Bafana Bafana shirt

The headline here is the badge change on the chest — not the national crest, but the kit maker’s logo. For 2026, Adidas has replaced Le Coq Sportif as South Africa’s supplier, and the Three Stripes mark a return to a partnership South African fans remember fondly from the 2010 World Cup on home soil.

It is fitting timing. South Africa qualified for the finals for the first time since they hosted in 2010, so this release carries more weight than a routine kit refresh. The new home shirt is the first piece of that story to land in shops, and it has been officially on sale since 20 March 2026.

What the home shirt looks like

The 2026 home jersey keeps the traditional yellow base that has defined Bafana Bafana for decades, dressed up with green detailing throughout. You get a green collar, green sleeve cuffs and the green Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders. Across the front sits an all-over tonal graphic — a pattern of repeated linear motifs that Adidas says references the country’s linguistic diversity, a quiet nod to South Africa’s eleven official languages.

The chest layout is clean: a green Adidas logo in the centre, the SAFA emblem to the right and the Protea crest to the left. The kit is completed by green shorts with yellow Adidas stripes and yellow socks. The overall effect is unmistakably a tribute to that 2010 shirt, modernised for the current international cycle.

The away and pre-match shirts

South Africa’s change shirt flips the palette to a dark, team-green base with lighter green accents and yellow logos, again echoing the 2010 look. At 433FC this is listed as the South Africa 2026 World Cup white/change jersey for those who prefer the alternate strip.

There is also a matching pre-match shirt as part of the wider Adidas 2026 World Cup pre-match collection, which went on sale from 27 May 2026. That design — a bold yellow shirt with an eye-catching pixel-style mosaic — is built on a shared Adidas template, the same one rolled out in different colours for a handful of other nations and clubs this season.

How to buy the South Africa 2026 kit

The full range is in stock now. You can browse the complete line-up on the South Africa 2026 World Cup jersey hub, or go straight to the men’s South Africa 2026 World Cup home jersey. The alternate strip is available as the South Africa 2026 White jersey, and younger supporters are covered by the kids’ South Africa 2026 home kit.

Collectors chasing the original inspiration can pair the new release with the retro South Africa 1998 home jersey, while the full tournament range lives in our 2026 World Cup collection.

Why this kit matters

For a generation of South African supporters, the yellow shirt is tied to the memory of the 2010 World Cup — the vuvuzelas, Siphiwe Tshabalala’s opening goal against Mexico and a country hosting the world. Returning to that template, and to Adidas, is a deliberate emotional pull as Bafana Bafana step back onto the biggest stage after a long absence. Expect demand for the home shirt to outstrip the change kit, as it usually does for nations with a strong primary colour identity.
