Mexico's World Cup Jersey Tops Sales with Record 5 Million Units Sold
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, the largest ever with 42 participating teams, has become a major economic opportunity for various companies, especially apparel brands. Adidas, the official FIFA partner, revealed that the most sold jersey among its World Cup collection is Mexico's green national team shirt, with nearly 5 million units sold. This figure sets a new sales record for Mexico, surpassing traditionally popular teams such as Argentina, Brazil, Spain, France, Germany, and England.
Adidas CEO Bjorn Gulden also shared that over 3 million German national team jerseys are expected to be sold during the tournament, marking a historic high for the German Football Association. This number is three times greater than the German jersey sales recorded at the 2022 World Cup. Germany, along with Spain and Argentina, ranks just behind Mexico in jersey sales for the 2026 tournament.
The surge in jersey sales highlights the significant commercial impact of the World Cup, especially for host nations and major football powers, as fans worldwide show strong support through merchandise purchases.
