PORTUGAL - AWAY SHIRT 2014
Portugal's national team are one of European football's most exciting sides, representing a nation whose passion for the game has produced flair and drama in equal measure. A Seleção das Quinas - "The Team of the Shields" - have established themselves as one of the international game's modern powers, with major silverware in the form of UEFA Euro 2016 and a record two UEFA Nations League titles, lifted in 2019 and 2025.
This legacy has been shaped by legendary figures such as Eusébio, Luís Figo, Rui Costa, Pepe, and Deco, whose brilliance has defined Portuguese football across generations.
Portugal wore this striking away shirt at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil under manager Paulo Bento - a tournament that proved profoundly disappointing for a Seleção carrying the most in-form footballer on the planet in Cristiano Ronaldo. Drawn into a tough Group G alongside Germany, the United States and Ghana, Portugal's hopes effectively ended in their opening match - a chastening 4-0 thrashing by Germany in Salvador in which Thomas Müller bagged a hat-trick and Pepe was red-carded for a headbutt on the German forward. A last-gasp Silvestre Varela header rescued a 2-2 draw with the United States, and a 2-1 win over Ghana featured a Cristiano Ronaldo finish, but it was not enough - Portugal exited at the group stage on goal difference behind the Germans and the Americans, finishing third in their group despite picking up four points.
As of 2026, Portugal head to the FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico as one of the tournament favourites. With a squad built around Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rúben Dias, Vitinha, Rafael Leão and a 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo - heading to his record sixth World Cup - A Seleção will be looking to convert a generation of golden footballers into a first ever World Cup triumph.
