The alleged new away jersey of the national team for the 2026 World Cup has been leaked.

The 2026 World Cup could bring an aesthetic shift for the Argentina National Team. According to information published by the specialized site Opaleak, the new away jersey would feature black as the predominant color, leaving behind the purple that the team wore in Qatar 2022.

The leak, released this Wednesday, caused a stir among fans and jersey collectors, who are already speculating about the possible design. The outlet stated that, despite the radical color change, certain details considered lucky by the squad and supporters would be maintained, in line with the superstition that accompanied the World Cup title in Doha.

In the last World Cup, the choice of purple was a surprise and quickly set a trend in the market. This time, black would represent a different bet, without losing the symbolic significance associated with the alternate jersey.

Although AFA has not yet officially confirmed the news, Opaleak's reputation as a reliable source for sportswear previews suggests that this would be the version Argentina will wear in the World Cup to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Additionally, it should be noted that, for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the jerseys were revealed about four and a half months before the start of the competition (early August for the reveal and late November for the kickoff). If this precedent is used as a reference, the official presentation of the new jerseys could take place at the end of January or the beginning of February next year.
