Fake Spain shirts for the 2026 World Cup are already selling for €4
The official shirt hasn't even hit stores yet, but replicas of the kit Spain will wear at the 2026 World Cup are already circulating online. The price: around 4 euros. The origin: China, with the claim that they come from the same factory as the authentic ones.
Where to find them and at what price
The usual counterfeit channels – AliExpress, Temu, worldjersey.ru – are offering the two-star design Spain will wear trinc their triumph in Qatar. One buyer says he got his for 30 yuan (about 4 euros), personalised with a name and number, embroidery and patches. According to the seller, official units will arrive in Spain in three or four weeks.
The responsible consumer's dilemma
The responsible consumption subforum is hosting an open debate: is it worth waiting and paying 90 euros for the official shirt, or settling for a virtually identical copy at one-twentieth of the price? The temptation to wear it first, with the same design, is strong, especially when the supplier swears the fabric and finishes are identical.
While the Federation finalises the details of the official presentation, the first replicas are already being seen on the streets of Bilbao. The question is not whether they will arrive, but whether the Chinese factory making them will also be producing the official ones. As often happens, the grey market gets there before the legitimate one.
