In a dazzling display of style and national pride, sportswear giant Puma has unveiled the first set of eagerly-awaited home and away kits for five powerhouse African teams gearing up for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025. The live event, staged at the impressive Rabat Airport in Morocco, saw the hosts debut their bold new designs alongside fellow contenders Egypt, Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Senegal.
Puma’s AFCON 2025 Kit Reveal
As anticipation builds for the 24-team tournament set to kick off in December 2025 across six Moroccan cities, Puma’s kit launch has ignited a frenzy among fans eager to see their heroes don the latest designs on the pitch. Each kit is a masterful blend of cutting-edge sportswear technology and deeply rooted cultural symbolism, reflecting the unique identity and heritage of the respective nations.
Egypt’s Pharaonic Flair
Egypt’s striking deep red home shirt features an intricate all-over zig-zag pattern inspired by the timeless motifs of pharaohs, pyramids, and undulating sand dunes. The away kit inverts the color scheme, with the pharaohs taking center stage between the crests on a crisp white background.
Ghana’s Adinkra Artistry
Ghanaian designer Jefferson Osei collaborated with painter Daniel Alum Jasper to create the Black Stars’ mesmerizing home kit, which incorporates traditional “Adinkra” symbols representing cherished aspects of everyday life. The symbols magically reveal themselves as the players sweat, saturating the fabric. The radiant away kit pays homage to Ghana’s Gold Coast, with a dynamic black star radiating from the center.
Ivory Coast’s Vibrant Celebration
Reigning champions Ivory Coast will defend their title in a fiery orange home shirt inspired by “La Fête des Masques,” an annual festival celebrating the spirits of the forest. The ethereal white away kit features a subtle pattern echoing the ceremonial dances and the marks they leave in the earth.
Morocco’s Zellige Grandeur
Moroccan designer Abderrahmane Trabsini adorned the hosts’ home kit with intricate patterns from traditional “Zellige” clay tiles, cleverly inverting the star motif on the flanks to create a subtle striping effect. The away kit pays tribute to the artisanship of the Berbers, the nation’s largest indigenous tribe, with symbols of fertility, faith, and protection woven throughout.
Senegal’s Roaring Pride
Senegal’s sleek white home shirt embodies the spirit of “Teranga”—the cherished national values of hospitality, diligence, and unity—with vivid green, gold, and red accents forming a bold central stripe. The mesmerizing green away shirt features a fierce lion’s head emerging from a swirling, liquid-like graphic, symbolizing the team’s indomitable spirit.
As the countdown to AFCON 2025 begins, Puma’s kit reveal has set the stage for an unforgettable tournament, with each design serving as a testament to the rich tapestry of African culture and the unifying power of the beautiful game. Fans worldwide now eagerly await the moment when their heroes will step onto the pitch, resplendent in their new colors, ready to battle for continental glory.
