The biggest stage of Asian football has kicked off as the AFC Women’s Asian Cup frenzy has got all over the football fans. The tournament, which promises some unparalleled encounters, has officially kicked off in Australia on the 1st of March.

Featuring twelve Asian powerhouses, the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 provides the teams with an opportunity to prove themselves, that they can compete and be crowned the champions of Asia.

With stakes and expectations high, the Blue Tigresses will be looking forward to seizing the opportunity and making the best out of it.

As the tournament continues to amaze the fans, let’s take a look at the kit partners of all twelve teams featuring in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026.

Nike – Australia, South Korea, China

Nike, one of the most influential jersey manufacturers, will be the kitting partners of Australia, South Korea and China for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026. Partnering with three out of the twelve teams, Nike will be the jersey manufacturer, featuring the most number of shirts in this edition.

Nike became the kitting partner of South Korea way back in January 1996, almost three decades ago. This is one of the longest-running international partnerships and has been recently extended till 2032, further strengthening the commitment towards delivering culturally inspired jerseys.

The partnership between Nike and Australia was signed in 2004, and in late 2023, it was extended until 2033, reiterating yet another long-term collaboration. Adidas was the manufacturer for China till 2015, until it was replaced by Nike. With the current agreement set to run at least till the end of 2026, it marks another decade-long partnership of Nike with the football teams.

Adidas – Philippines, Japan

Adidas, over the years, has created a legacy, a legacy of fusion combined with cutting-edge design. In their jerseys, the three stripes not only represent their brand, it’s a partnership that has captured some of the most historic and iconic moments in Asian football. From the Samurai Blue jerseys of Japan to the Filipinas jersey of the Philippines, Adidas has not just printed shirts, but a cultural identity.

Adidas has been the official partner of Japan since 1999. This long-term alliance was recently renewed till 2030. However, their connection goes even more deep rooted as Adidas has been providing equipment for Japan on an informal basis since the 1960s.

Adidas was the partner of the Philippines from the year 1994 to 2004. Later, they had a very short-term partnership in 2006, after which the manufacturing was done by multiple partners. In 2023, they yet again shook hands with Adidas on a four-year-long partnership, which makes Adidas the official jersey manufacturer of the Philippines National Football Team till 2027.

Majid – Iran

After years of switching across different international brands, the Iranian National Football Team pivoted towards a domestic brand, Majid. The brand created history in the FIFA Men’s World Cup 2022, as it became the first time in the history of Iran that they played the World Cup with a domestically manufactured jersey.

The partnership has remained strong through the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and into the current 2026 World Cup qualification cycle, making it the most stable domestic kit deal in the country’s history. Now, the brand will proudly represent Iran Womens Football team in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026.

Ina Sports – Korea DPR

The jerseys for the North Korean Women’s Football Team, the jerseys are supplied by a Chinese brand, Ina Sports. After the country’s decade-long era of using unbranded, state-produced kits, Ina Sports officially took over as the kitting partner in early 2024. The partnership covers the senior men’s and women’s national teams, including the current 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup campaign.

Dour – Bangladesh

After a no-partner era from 2021 to 2025, the Bangladesh National Football Team signed a deal with a local Dhaka-based brand, Dour, on the 11th of February 2026, on a two-year basis.

The partnership was officially kicked off with the women’s national team wearing their kits for the friendly matches against the UAE in late February 2025. The men’s team debuted in this jersey in the AFC Asian Cup Qualifier against India on March 25, 2025.

With designs deep-rooted in heritage and national symbols, Dour provides a symbolic representation of the Bangladeshi culture, as the team prepares to compete for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026.

Jako – Uzbekistan

Jako officially became the technical partner of the Uzbekistan Football Association (UFA) in late 2018, with the first kits debuting in January 2019 for the AFC Asian Cup. The Uzbekistan Football Association, in 2018, briefly trialed Adidas initially, before it was replaced by Jako, as it provided a much comprehensive gear to the Uzbekistan National Football Team.

Uzbekistan’s partnership with Jako is one of the most stable and successful partnesrhips in Asian football, reaching a historic turning point as the team prepares for their first-ever World Cup.

Entes – Chinese Taipei

In January 2023, Entes officially became the technical partner of the Chinese Taipei Football Association, replacing the previous long-term supplier, Anker. Having had the reputation of delivering quality kits to different Taiwanese clubs, the partnership with Entes marks a significant step towards the domestic-first ambitions of the country.

With the deal running till 2026, Entes will be the official kitting partner for the Chinese Taipei women’s football team as they represent themselves in the highest Asian stage.

Jogarbola – Vietnam

Jogarbola, the official kitting partner of the Vietnam National Football Team replaced their previous jersey manufacturer, Grand Sport in 2024. A brand with Japanese origins, Jogarbola signed a partnership with the Vietnam Football Association, and the sponsorship is set to run until 2027.

This year, the jersey features a sophisticated tonal geometric pattern that mimics the jagged peaks of Vietnam’s northern highlands. This symbolises the unwavering determination of the women’s team as they compete at the highest levels in Asia.

Macron – India

The Indian Women’s Football Team has undergone the most turmoil with regards to their kit for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup.

With the team not having an official kitting partner, AIFF had to locally manufacture the jerseys for the tournament. However, to their dismay, the Blue Tigresses were forced to hurriedly find their playing kits locally after the set of jerseys sent by AIFF was manufactured for age-group teams, and did not fit at least 80% of the 26-member squad.

After a lot of confusions, Macron, an Italian brand has been finalised as the kitting partners for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026. Even though a last minute find, a collaboration with an Italian brand will increase the international exposure and potentially mark the beginning of a new pathway in Indian Football.
