The official Argentina 2026 World Cup jersey is made by Adidas and sells for USD 100 for the fan (replica) version and USD 150 for the player-issue authentic version on the FIFA Official Store.
This guide covers where to buy the genuine jersey in the Gulf and South Asia, what each version costs, and how to avoid fakes. Prices are current as of June 2026.
What the official Argentina 2026 jersey costs
Adidas is Argentina’s official kit supplier, and the 2026 home shirt keeps the classic white-and-sky-blue stripes inspired by the 1978, 1986 and 2022 World Cup-winning sides.
There are four official versions, and the price gap comes down to construction — the authentic shirt is the exact one players wear.
- Fan / replica (men’s): USD 100 — a relaxed fit with Climacool fabric.
- Authentic (men’s): USD 150 — slim, player-issue cut with Climacool+ cooling.
- Women’s fan version: USD 100.
- Youth fan version: USD 80.
A Messi 10 home shirt is also sold, both as a name-and-number authentic version and a cheaper replica.
Adidas codes are worth noting if you search by product: the men’s replica is JM8396 and the authentic is JM5897.
Where to buy in your country
You can buy it online from Adidas, the FIFA Official Store, and the official AFA store; all of which ship internationally.
In the Gulf, the easiest options are the Adidas regional sites and Sun & Sand Sports, which runs official stores across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
In South Asia, India has an official Adidas store online, while Pakistan and Bangladesh have no official Adidas retail. Your safest route there is ordering from Adidas or the FIFA store, which both ship internationally.
| Market | Where to buy (official) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| UAE | adidas.ae, Sun & Sand Sports | Men’s authentic AED 699; kids’ replica AED 359 |
| Saudi Arabia | Sun & Sand Sports KSA, Adidas stores | Check the site for local SAR pricing |
| Qatar | Sun & Sand Sports, Adidas stores | In-store at Mall of Qatar and online |
| Bahrain | Sun & Sand Sports | Online delivery across Bahrain |
| Kuwait | Sun & Sand Sports, Adidas stores | Check the site for local KWD pricing |
| Oman | Sun & Sand Sports | Online delivery across Oman |
| India | adidas.co.in | Official store; check site for INR pricing |
| Pakistan | FIFA store / Adidas (ships in) | No official Adidas retail; watch for fakes |
| Bangladesh | FIFA store / Adidas (ships in) | Limited official retail; watch for fakes |
If you want it fastest, order from a retailer that holds stock in your own market rather than waiting on an international shipment.
How to avoid a fake jersey
The single best safeguard is to buy only from official channels — Adidas, the FIFA Official Store, the AFA store, or an authorised retailer like Sun & Sand Sports.
Counterfeits flood the market around a World Cup, and price is the clearest red flag. A genuine shirt costs around USD 100 for a replica and USD 150 for the authentic, so a “brand new” jersey at a fraction of that is almost certainly fake.
Before you pay, run through these quick checks:
- Style ID: match the Adidas product code (JM8396 replica, JM5897 authentic) on the inner label.
- Crest and stitching: the AFA badge should be sharp and tightly stitched, not glossy or peeling.
- Fit: Adidas sizing is consistent worldwide; boxy or baggy “authentic” shirts are a warning sign.
- Seller: on marketplaces, prefer the official Adidas storefront over third-party listings.
Buying before you travel to a match
Many fans pick up their shirt before flying out to the 2026 tournament, hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July.
