Malta to wear adidas kits inspired by 1980s designs

The Maltese selection will be one of ten European nations to take to the pitch in newly designed kits created by adidas, the new official supplier under UEFA’s Kit Assistance Scheme.

Over the next two seasons, national teams from Andorra, Belarus, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Malta and San Marino will each wear unique adidas designs.

These kits have been developed in close collaboration with their respective football associations, ensuring each one reflects the nation’s identity.

Malta’s men’s national team is set to debut the new kit during its upcoming UEFA Nations League D campaign, kicking off in September.

The women’s team will follow in their next Nations League campaign in 2027, with their league placement yet to be confirmed.

The new designs draw inspiration from Malta’s iconic adidas kits of the 1980s – particularly those worn between 1984 and 1987 – bringing a nostalgic touch to a modern look.

UEFA’s Kit Assistance Scheme continues to play an important role in supporting national associations by providing access to high-performance apparel tailored to their needs.

Established in 2007, the programme supplies both match and training wear, helping teams present themselves in high-quality, customised kits that reflect their footballing heritage.

Adidas was selected as the scheme’s supplier following a tender process that prioritised product quality, affordability, personalisation options, and a proven track record in delivering similar projects.

Participating associations will also benefit from adidas’ exclusive Locker Room design service, which offers a wide range of options for creating and ordering customised teamwear.
