The Algeria jersey has evolved a lot, but two things have never changed: green and white. From the exploits of 1982 to today's zellige design, each outfit tells a part of the Fennecs' history. You will explore this epic journey, from yesterday's kit manufacturers to the iconic jerseys. Let's start with the most legendary of them.
1982, the legendary jersey
The Fennecs' most legendary jersey remains that of the 1982 World Cup in Spain. Green and white, it accompanied one of the biggest surprises in World Cup history: the 2-1 victory against West Germany, scored by Madjer and Belloumi.
On that day, Algeria became the first African team to beat a European team in the World Cup. In short, this jersey made history far beyond Algerian football.
At the time, local manufacturers like Sonitex supplied the Fennecs' kits. A handcrafted period, but foundational for the team's visual identity. To understand what these colours represent, our article on the green of the Algerian jersey goes into detail.
Kit manufacturers, a long waltz
Unlike nations that have remained loyal to a single brand, Algeria has had multiple partners. After local brands and several kit manufacturers, Puma supplied the Fennecs from 2010 to 2014, before adidas took over from 2015.
The Puma period left behind striking jerseys, including a model inspired by geometric patterns from Algerian culture, designed by an artist. It was with a Puma jersey that Algeria experienced its Brazilian epic in 2014.

2014 and 2019, two iconic jerseys
In 2014, Algeria reached the World Cup round of 16 for the first time, driven by a remarkable generation. This was also the year of Riyad Mahrez's international debut, whose first jersey became a sought-after item.
Five years later, the white jersey from the 2019 AFCON, won against Senegal, became legendary. Adorned with the fennec and details celebrating continental titles, it remains a fan favourite. We revisit this epic and its key players in our portrait of Riyad Mahrez.
Since 2015, adidas has supplied the Fennecs' kits. The partnership, initially signed for four years, has been extended and now accompanies Algeria's return to the World Cup.
The current jersey, between tradition and modernity
The 2025-2026 kit marks a new stage. Its design is inspired by zellige, and most importantly, the national flag returns to the crest, replacing the federation's logo. A strong choice, praised by supporters. To find out all about this kit, see our comparison of the Algeria 2025 and 2026 jerseys.
