The new jersey, produced by a local sportswear brand, is predominantly white and shares several design elements with Iran’s 2022 World Cup strip.
One of the standout features is the return of the Asian cheetah watermark, a symbol strongly associated with Iranian football in recent years and widely regarded as a tribute to the endangered species native to the region.
The sleeves feature subtle patterns inspired by animal-skin textures, while the edges are accented with the colours of the Iranian national flag. Red player numbers and logos further enhance the overall design.
According to Iranian media reports, the team will travel to Türkiye on Monday for a pre-World Cup training camp in Antalya, where the squad is scheduled to play two friendly matches as part of preparations for the tournament.
A special farewell ceremony for the national team was held at Enqelab Square in Tehran, attended by players, coaching staff, football federation officials and prominent figures from the country’s sporting community.
During the event, organisers also unveiled the team’s official World Cup anthem alongside the new jersey.
Iran has been drawn in Group G of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they will face Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand in the group stage.
