Argentina New Kit for Copa America 2024
According to leaked images on several social media sites, Argentina’s new kit will be sponsored by Adidas and will have the traditional Sky Blue and White shade. The Argentina FA crest will be at the heart which will be embossed with three stars. The stars indicate the three FIFA World Cup titles won by the South American nation. The Adidas logo will feature on the left side of the kit with blue strips on the shoulders. Interestingly, all the crests on the kit will be in golden embossing while the back rear side of the kit will also have a similar pattern.
The Copa America 2024 will be a special occasion for Argentina as they will enter the tournament as the tournament’s defending champions, FIFA World Cup and the CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions. Not since Brazil in 2004 has a team entered the Copa America as the defending world champions. Brazil also remains the last team to be the simultaneous champions of both Copa America and the FIFA World Cup which they achieved in 2004.
Brazil in 2005 also became the first team to be the defending champions of the Copa America, FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Confederations Cup.
