The Football Federation and Macron have presented the new jerseys that the Eagles will wear in the qualifying matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The players led by Silvinho will wear the new jerseys in the first match of the qualifying phase which will take place on March 21 against England.
The new jerseys (red first jersey, white second jersey and black third jersey) consist of a special printed graphic, which, starting from the double-headed eagle symbol, includes a rich series of references to natural and cultural elements characteristic of Albania, writes A2.
Within the eagle design, which is present on the sleeve, front and back of the jersey, many symbols are included, each with a specific meaning: Our double-headed eagle, built from details that reflect the beauty, nature and rich Albanian spirit, holds in its wings the mountain, the river, the sun and the sea, symbols of the power and beauty of our life.
This eagle holds high the historical courage of Skanderbeg, reminding us of our deepest traditions, with the opponent in the middle, facing the eagle's eyes.
An eagle that symbolizes heart, unity, pride, a little cunning and a deep passion for our players, the modern heroes who come from all over the world to proudly represent Albania in every challenge on the field.
A tightly united team, a full spirit, a nation that always remains proud.
The home jersey is in the traditional red (the color of the Albanian flag) with a red and black stripe on the neck and sleeve ends. The characteristic graphic is printed on the front and back, forming a full eagle, composed of elements such as Skanderbeg, mountain, sea, ship, stars, fox, etc., elements of Albanian history and folklore throughout the centuries.
On the chest, both printed in silicone, Macron Hero is present on the right and the AFF logo on the left. On the back of the neck, inside, it is personalized with a red label and details in the color of the graphics present on the jersey, on which is the AFF logo, the writing “ALBANIAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION”, the Macron logo and the writing “Designed in Bologna” which certifies that each piece is designed, created and developed on the Macron campus. On the back of the neck, the writing “ALBANIA” is printed in black. Another personalized detail of the new Albanian National Team jersey is the inner stripe, placed behind, with the phrase “Ti Shqiptare, më jep nder” followed by the symbol of the double-headed eagle. The home jersey also includes black pants, which, due to a red and black color scheme on the bottom of the thigh and a segmented profile on the side, give the design style of classic basketball pants. The socks are also black with a red line at the top and a black line in the middle.
The second and third jerseys exactly reflect the graphics of the first jersey and are distinguished by the dominant color: The second jersey is white with red and black details (white pants with red and black side stripes, white socks with black side stripes and a red horizontal line); The third jersey is black with red details (black pants and black socks with red and black side stripes). Like all products made by Macron, those of the Albanian National Team are also produced in Eco Fabric, a 100% polyester material created from post-consumer plastic recycling. In particular, the material used is Eco Sirena (front and sleeves) and the presence of the back panel in Eco Micromesh and the Eco Mesh compositions ensure lightness and high breathability.
