The 2026 FIFA World Cup has 48 teams. That's more nations than ever before. And yet, some of the most passionate football cultures on the planet are watching from home — Italy for a second consecutive time, Chile, Peru, and others whose supporters bleed their country's colours every single match day.
If your nation didn't qualify, that stings. Nobody is going to pretend otherwise. But here's the thing that doesn't change: the shirt. The jersey is still there. The crest is still there. The history, the love, the millions of fans around the world who feel that same pull when their national anthem plays — none of that disappears just because the draw didn't go your way.
At Soccer World, we stock the 2026 national team jerseys for Italy, Chile, and Peru. If you're proud of where you come from, this guide is for you.
Free standard shipping on all Australian orders over $150. Most national team jerseys hit that threshold on their own — or combine a home and kids jersey and you're well and truly covered.
Italy — Gli Azzurri: Two Tournaments, Too Much Pain
Italy missed the 2018 World Cup. It was called one of the biggest shocks in football history. Then they won Euro 2020, and it felt like the dark years were behind them. Then they missed 2026 as well. Two consecutive World Cups without Gli Azzurri. For Italian football fans in Australia and around the world, that's a wound that doesn't close quickly.
But the blue shirt — the famous Azzurri blue — remains one of the most iconic kits in world football. adidas has produced the 2026 Italia home jersey in that same deep, rich blue that has graced World Cup finals for decades. It's a beautiful kit, regardless of what tournament it's absent from. If you love Italy, you wear the blue with pride. The shirt earns the support it gets.
We stock the full 2026 Italy range: home, away, men's, and kids. Whether you're watching the World Cup with an eye on who might cause an upset, or just want to have the best-dressed living room on the block, these are kits worth owning.

Chile — La Roja: South America's Pride on the Sidelines
Chile's football story this decade is a tough one. The generation that won back-to-back Copa América titles in 2015 and 2016 — one of the most exciting South American sides in recent memory — has aged out, and the new generation didn't quite get there in CONMEBOL qualifying. La Roja sits out the 2026 World Cup, but the passion of Chilean football supporters never took a day off.
The 2026 Chile home kit is La Roja in every sense — that brilliant, unapologetic red that defines Chilean football. If you've got Chilean heritage, or just love the colour and the culture, this jersey is a proper one.
adidas Chile 26 Home Jersey
adidas Chile 26 Home Jersey
La Roja's 2026 home kit in bold active red. The badge of the Federación de Fútbol de Chile on your chest, the classic Chilean red on your back. This is the shirt of a nation with serious football history — Copa América wins, World Cup semi-finals, and some of the most technically gifted players of their generation. The World Cup might be going on without them, but this jersey still commands respect.
Peru — La Blanquirroja: Football Lives in the Heart
Peru's football culture is one of the warmest and most passionate in South America. The white and red diagonal sash — La Blanquirroja — is one of the most recognisable strips in the game. Peru made it to the 2018 World Cup for the first time in 36 years, and the scenes of supporters celebrating that qualification were genuinely moving. Missing 2026 hurts after tasting it again so recently. But the fervour? The love? That doesn't go anywhere.
The 2026 Peru home jersey keeps the iconic diagonal sash design that makes La Blanquirroja one of the most distinctive kits in world football. This is a shirt that carries the weight of decades of Peruvian football history.
adidas Peru 26 Home Jersey
adidas Peru 26 Home Jersey
The iconic La Blanquirroja in its 2026 form. White base, the signature red diagonal sash, adidas three stripes on the shoulder — clean, proud, and instantly recognisable to anyone who knows South American football. Wear it to watch the World Cup and let people know whose side you're really on.
Why Wear the Jersey Anyway?
It's a fair question. Your team isn't there. Why put the shirt on?
Because you don't support the tournament. You support the nation.
The jersey is the most honest expression of that support. It says: I love this team. I love this football culture. I love where I come from, or where my family came from, or the country that captured my imagination when I first started watching football. The World Cup is a stage — the shirt is the story, and that story is years long.
There's something quietly powerful about sitting in front of the World Cup in your nation's colours when they're not playing. It says this is bigger than one tournament cycle. You're still here. Still proud. Your country will qualify again — and when they do, you'll already be wearing the right shirt.
There are also a million Italian, Chilean, and Peruvian-Australians watching these games and thinking about family, about identity, about the football they grew up with. That shared experience doesn't require a spot in the bracket. Wearing the shirt to watch — even as a neutral observer for six weeks — keeps that connection alive.

FAQs
Why didn't Italy qualify for the 2026 World Cup?
Italy missed qualification through the UEFA play-offs, failing to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup for the second consecutive time — they also missed the 2018 tournament in Russia. This is a historic low point for Italian football, given the Azzurri's proud World Cup history which includes four titles. The 2026 absence follows a period of rebuilding after the Euro 2020 triumph, with FIGC and the national team management under significant pressure to restore Italy to the tournament stage.
Which other big football nations missed the 2026 World Cup?
The expanded 48-team format brought more nations in, but notable absences still exist. From CONMEBOL, both Chile and Peru missed out despite the region receiving more automatic spots. European nations including Italy also failed to qualify. The full list of non-qualifiers varies by confederation, but Italy's second consecutive absence is widely regarded as the biggest story from the qualifying process.
Can I still buy Italy, Chile, and Peru jerseys for the 2026 World Cup?
Yes — Soccer World stocks the official 2026 national team jerseys for Italy, Chile, and Peru right now. adidas has produced 2026 editions of all three kits regardless of World Cup participation, so you can get the current shirt for any of these nations. These are the same jerseys the teams wear for their ongoing international fixtures, including friendlies and future qualifying campaigns.
Are these official adidas kits, or replicas?
All jerseys stocked at Soccer World are official licensed product from adidas. The standard jerseys are the fan replica versions — same design as the match-worn kit, made to be durable and comfortable for everyday wear. The Italy Authentic jersey is the player-grade version, using the same performance construction as the kits worn on the pitch. You won't find unofficial or unbranded product here.
Is free shipping available on national team jerseys?
Yes — Soccer World offers free standard shipping on all Australian orders over $150. Most individual national team jerseys are priced at $150, meaning a single jersey qualifies on its own. Combine a men's jersey with a kids' kit and you're well over the threshold for a great value family order.
