The jersey is a throwback to the one used at the 2010 World Cup that South Africa hosted.
“Drawing inspiration from the unforgettable 2010 jersey – a symbol of pride during a defining moment for South African football – the new design honours that legacy while stepping confidently into a new era,” Adidas said in a statement.
“The 2026/2027 home jersey retains the unmistakable yellow base with green trim, a colour palette synonymous with national pride. Elevated detailing and refined construction modernise the silhouette, delivering a performance-driven jersey built for the demands of today’s global game.
“Most notably, the updated design pays tribute to South Africa’s 12 official languages – a powerful reflection of the nation’s diversity, unity, and shared love for football. The subtle graphic elements woven into the fabric symbolise the many voices that rise together in stadiums across the country and around the world.”
South Africa have been drawn in Group A at the World Cup and will clash with Mexico in the opening match of the tournament at the famed Azteca Stadium on 11 June.
They also have South Korea and an as yet unknown European qualifier in their pool.
