Subside SportsVibrant, creative, and unmistakably Senegalese.
Senegal have become one of African football’s true heavyweights — Africa Cup of Nations champions, World Cup regulars, and a team that plays with the swagger and joy of a nation that adores the game. The Lions of Teranga arrive at World Cup 2026 carrying continental pride and a fanbase that turns every match into a carnival of colour and rhythm.
Puma leaned into exactly that spirit. Senegal’s 2026 collection is a celebration of the country’s artistic soul — from the hand-painted Car Rapide minibuses of Dakar to the rhythms of its music scene — rendered in a textile-rich white home and a bold “Wild Green” away. It’s vibrant, creative, and unmistakably Senegalese.
Football inseparable from art, music and community
For the Lions of Teranga, football is inseparable from art, music and community — teranga itself means hospitality and warmth. The shirt has to carry that joy, and Puma’s choice to draw on Dakar’s street art and music scene gives it genuine cultural soul.

Joyful and vibrant
The home shirt is a joyful surprise: a white base layered with intricate tonal patterns inspired by Dakar’s iconic Car Rapide minibuses — moving folk art — with subtle green, yellow and red accents tying it to the flag. It’s creative, warm and full of personality.
The away shirt is the bold one — a “Wild Green” base with a central vertical panel of geometric, kaleidoscopic shapes, a yellow crew collar and red side inserts. Vibrant, energetic and distinctly Senegalese.
Street art, music and national colour
Both kits celebrate Senegal’s artistic identity — the Car Rapide street art of Dakar on the home, kaleidoscopic geometric energy on the away — woven through with the flag’s green, yellow and red. It’s a vibrant tribute to a nation where football, art and music are one.
