FSHF and Macron presented the new 2025 kits for the Albanian national football team The new kits clearly express the identity of the Shqiponjat through colours and symbols that relate the nation’s history and traditions. The players coached by Sylvinho will wear the new shirts for the first match in the qualifying rounds of the FIFA World Cup 2026, scheduled for 21 March against England.
The new Home, Away and Third kits are respectively red, white and black. All three share refined, embossed graphics based on the symbol of the two-headed eagle and feature a series of references to the nature and culture and Albania. Numerous symbols appear within the eagle graphics on the sleeves and body, front and back, each with a specific meaning: crafted from details reflecting Albania’s beauty, nature, and rich spirit, the two-headed eagle carries within its wings the mountains, rivers, sun, and sea — symbols of the strength and beauty of the country. This eagle proudly embodies the historic courage of Skanderbeg, reminding us of our deepest traditions, with the adversary placed between the eagle’s watchful eyes. An eagle symbolizing the heart, unity, pride, a hint of cunning, and deep passion for the Albanian players, modern heroes who come from all corners of the world to proudly represent Albania in every challenge on the field. One team strongly united, one spirit fully charged, one nation forever proud.
Albania’s new Home shirt is red with a black V neck and details. The Macron Hero logo is printed on the right of the chest and that of the FSHF on the left, both in silicone. The inside neck label is customised with a red background and tone on tone graphics like those of the shirt body. The FSHF logo and the words ‘FEDERATA SHQIPTARE E FUTBOLLIT’, the Macron logo and the words ‘Designed in Bologna’, certifying that the garment is conceived, designed and developed in the Macron Campus, are reproduced above it. The word ‘SHQIPËRI’ (Albania) is printed in black behind the neck. Another custom detail on the new kits of the Albanian squad is a tape that runs around the inside of the back bearing the words “Ti Shqipëri, më jep nder” (Albania, you honour me) repeated and interspersed with the two-headed eagle symbol. The Home shirt is complemented by black shorts with a black-red-black band around the bottoms and segmented side bands, creating a look similar to classic basketball shorts. Finally, the socks are in black with a red band containing a black stripe around the top.
The Away and Third versions repeat exactly the same graphic layout as the Home shirt but differ in dominant colour: white with red and black details for the Away shirt (with white shorts with leg bottoms in red and black and white socks with a black cuff containing a horizontal red stripe); and black with red details for the Third shirt (with black shorts and black socks with a red and black cuff).
Like all the garments that Macron produces for its partner clubs and federations, the new kits of the Albanian national football team are made from Eco Fabric, a polyester material derived entirely from recycled post-consumer plastic. In particular, the main fabric is Eco Serena for the front and sleeves, with a back panel in Eco Micromesh and Eco Mesh inserts for reduced weight and improved breathability. The new Albanian Football team kits can be purchased from the section of the macron.com website dedicated to the FSHF.
