World Cup archive
Portugal took a long time to reach the World Cup stage, but since Eusébio led them to third place in 1966 they have produced some of the most iconic jerseys in the tournament. The deep red home shirt has carried Figo, Deco, Nani and Ronaldo through three decades of heartbreak and near-misses.

1966
Portuguese FA

Deep red cotton shirt with a simple crest — the shirt of Eusébio.

2002
Nike
South Korea/Japan
Classic Nike Portugal red home with a green shoulder trim and a modern v-collar.
The golden generation — Figo, Rui Costa, Nuno Gomes — somehow crashed out at the group stage, a massive shock after reaching the semis at Euro 2000.
2006
Nike
Germany
Red home with green trim and a sharper modern cut. Worn by a young Cristiano Ronaldo for his first World Cup.
Portugal reached fourth place and Ronaldo famously winked after winning a penalty that sent Wayne Rooney off in the quarters.
2018
Nike
Russia
Deeper, more textured red home with gold detailing to mark the reigning European champions status.
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick against Spain on matchday one — one of the great individual group-stage performances. Portugal went out to Uruguay in the round of 16.
2022
Nike

Clean deep-red home with sharper green trim and a modern template.
Portugal thrashed Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16 with a Gonçalo Ramos hat-trick in Ronaldo's World Cup substitute era. They lost to Morocco in the quarters.

No. Portugal have never won the World Cup. Their best finish was third in 1966 in England, and fourth in 2006 in Germany. They did win Euro 2016.
Nike have made the Portugal national team kit since 1997.
Red and green are the colours of the Portuguese national flag, adopted after the 1910 revolution. Red represents the blood of those who fought for Portugal; green represents hope.
