What does the Argentina home jersey look like?

The home jersey carries the unmistakable sky blue and white vertical stripes, with white shorts. Above the crest sit three stars for the world titles of 1978, 1986 and 2022. It may well be the most iconic kit in world football: just as strong in a packed stand as on the street. The fabric is light and breathable, exactly what you want on a long World Cup night.

What does La Albiceleste mean?

La Albiceleste literally means 'the white and sky blue', from the Spanish albo (white) and celeste (sky blue). The nickname points straight at the colours of the shirt and the Argentine flag. Few nations are as recognisable by their kit, and that is exactly what makes this shirt a collector's classic.

What does the Argentina away shirt look like?

The away shirt is dark blue, Argentina's traditional alternative and a stylish counterpart to the light home jersey. If you prefer something more understated than the stripes, the Argentina away shirt is the one you will keep wearing after the tournament.

Who are Argentina's star players?

Lionel Messi remains the face of the team and was decisive again in the knockout stage. Around him stands a champion generation including Cristian Romero and Enzo Fernández, who both scored in the thrilling round of 16 win over Egypt. That mix of experience and hunger is what makes Argentina so dangerous at every tournament, and keeps the number 10 so popular on the back.

Which size Argentina jersey should I pick?

The shirts have a regular fit, so your usual size is normally the right call. If you are between two sizes, check our size guide. It lists chest width and length per size, so you get it right first time and skip the hassle of exchanges.
