These are the Cosmo ME approved brands to show your pride and shop now.

GENS DU MONDE for Morocco 🇲🇦

Born in Morocco, Gens du Monde has always led with a story first, garments second, and their World Cup 2026 drop is no different. The brand, whose name translates to both “people of the world” and “those who dress well,” launched Drop 005 as the Moroccan national team steps onto the pitch. The hero piece is the Morocco Knit: a reinterpretation of traditional Moroccan knitwear that feels less like merch and more like something you’d actually keep wearing.

WEGZ X KOTN for Egypt 🇪🇬

If anyone was going to make the most culturally relevant World Cup drop, it was going to involve Wegz. The Alexandria-born rap star teamed up with Canadian-Egyptian label Kotn on a limited-edition tee that skips the basic formula and goes straight to the source – the street game. The kind played on whatever’s available between whoever shows up. The collab launched with a pop-up in Toronto, limited stock and all, and unlike most celebrity merch moments, this one actually feels rooted in something real rather than rushed out for the occasion.

Arab Collective for Iraq 🇮🇶

The Toronto-based label built around Arab diaspora identity were obviously going to make a move to show up for the World Cup. Their Lions of Mesopotamia tee is an oversized, heavyweight drop and the name alone triggers a sense of pride for all the surrounding nations. But the real moment came when the Iraqi national team arrived ahead of their matches wearing it. Not a campaign, or a brand deal, just the team, in the tee, on the world stage. For a team returning to the World Cup for the first time in 40 years, it hit different.

Not Boring for Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

The Riyadh-based streetwear label has always had a talent for turning cultural nostalgia into something you actually want to wear, and their World Cup drop is no exception. One of the standout pieces is a tee made to commemorate the jerseys from Saudi’s first participation in the World Cup 1994. It’s a simple concept executed perfectly: the original shirt lifted straight from history and placed on a modern tee. With Saudi back on the World Cup stage again in 2026, the timing of this collection couldn’t be better.

3AMI for Algeria and Morocco 🇩🇿🇲🇦

The France-based label had been doing one thing really well: vintage jerseys that feel like they were pulled from your granfather’s wardrobe, not a fast fashion warehouse. Their mission has always been to celebrate identity and heritage through clothing, and with both Morocco and Algeria in this World Cupm they showed up for both. The jerseys are oversized, long or short sleeve, with a retro feel that marries old school football culture with something you’d genuinely wear on any day of the week. And in a collection that explored the Amazigh identity, Palestine, and more, it is worth checking out.

Shabab for Iraq 🇮🇶

The Dubai-based Arab streetwear label شباب has been building a cult following for years across the region, and when Iraq qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 40 years, they felt it too. Their Iraq World Cup drop includes their own take on an Iraq “Away” Jersey, A puff print “Lions of Mesopotamia” tee, and a trucker hat. It’s less of a product drop, and more of a statement from a brand that understands what this moment means for Iraqi football culture.

New Chic for Tunisia 🇹🇳

The Tunisian label built this one around a feeling more than a football tournament. The Carthage Eagles tee carries the energy of Tunisia’s national eagle – powerful, protective, and always rising. It’s one of those tops that have you waving your flag in the most fashionable way possible.
