The design of a new home uniform that the South Korean national soccer team is expected to wear at the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup has been leaked.

Footy Headline, a media outlet specializing in soccer supplies, released the expected image and information of the uniform on the 11th (Korea Standard Time), saying, "We obtained the design of the home kit for the 2026 World Cup in Korea produced by Nike."

According to the media, the core color of the uniform is 'global red'. Red colors are more intense and noticeable than current uniforms. This is interpreted as symbolizing the fighting spirit and energy unique to Korean soccer.

The unique pattern applied throughout the uniform also attracts attention. The media explained, "The dynamic, flowing graphic pattern covering the uniform was inspired by Korea's rugged mountain range and tiger skin texture." This seems to be a reinterpretation of the spirit of the tiger, the symbol of Korean soccer, with a modern design.

Detailed design elements were also revealed. Black is added to the end of the sleeve to create an intense contrast with the red background. Nike's logo is white with an elegant gold border on the background, emphasizing luxury. It blends well with the emblem of the Korea Football Association (KFA) attached to the left chest.

It also drew attention by revealing the expected image of South Korean national team captain Son Heung-min wearing a uniform. In the image, Son Heung-min is smiling with a soccer ball in his hand against the background of the old palace in Korea.

"This uniform is a design that harmonizes Korea's traditional symbols and modern senses," the media said. "It will be a very unique and impressive model among Nike's 2026 World Cup home uniform lineup."

A light purple away uniform with a design using Mugunghwa, the national flower of Korea, was also unveiled.

Meanwhile, the new uniform of the Korean national soccer team is reportedly scheduled to be officially released in March. The national team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, is expected to wear this uniform from the A match in March.
