Tournament regulars with something to prove
Iran have been at almost every recent World Cup and the 2026 squad has one of the most experienced core spines in the tournament. They land in Group G alongside Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand — a group they can genuinely win.
The design
Crisp white home shirt with a barely-there tile pattern woven across the chest — a nod to Persian mosaic art without being literal about it. Red accents on the sleeves. One of the cleanest kits of the 2026 cycle when you see it in sunlight.
Who to watch
Mehdi Taremi up top, Sardar Azmoun still scoring in Europe, Alireza Jahanbakhsh getting the tournament minutes he’s been chasing for a decade. Structurally sound, tactically flexible.
Why you should care
The Iran kit has flown under the radar compared with louder designs. Judge it on the design and current evidence rather than a promise about how it will be perceived in five years.
