The best pre-match jerseys of Qatar 2022 World Cup From Belgium's patchwork to Brazil's tiger print, from the Socceroos' 90s camo to Spain's Jabulani pattern

After seeing the patterns of the best jerseys that the national teams will wear during the World Cup in Qatar, today we focus instead on the pre-matches that the players will wear during the warm-up. An item that has seen a considerable increase in interest in recent years, both from brands and fans, becoming de facto one more jersey on which to express imagination. And as a result, even for the World Cup, technical sponsors have created high-impact prematch kits, playing with the designs chosen for the game jerseys or introducing new and surprising ways to communicate the national identity. 

 

Among those that have impressed us the most and we can't wait for them to be worn in anticipation of the national anthems are Belgium's colourful patchwork and Brazil's unusual green and blue tiger print. Australia's Socceroos were inspired by the national team's early 90s jerseys made by Kingroo, while the Netherlands ditched their colours for a monochrome look. Tunisia, after controversy surrounding the design of their pre-match initial, made another with a pattern inspired by the eagle on their crest while Spain dedicated theirs to the iconic adidas Jabulani, the ball with which the Iberian selection won the 2010 World Cup.
