The official photos of Real Madrid’s new 2025/2026 jersey have already been taken, and one detail stood out: it already features the “Best Team in the World” patch (earned by winning the Intercontinental Cup). It wasn’t entirely clear whether that patch would still be used with the new Club World Cup format—there was speculation that only the winner of the tournament would be allowed to wear it for four years—but it seems they will be using different patches.
They also posed wearing the newly released second kit—the blue one—which will be used depending on the opponent and whether we play home or away. Today we’re the home team, so the white kit is expected, but we’ll likely wear the blue one in another match during the tournament.
Everything is ready for today’s match at 9:00 PM against Al-Hilal. It’s important to make a strong debut in a competition that brings a lot of excitement. Real Madrid won the very first European Cup—can we now win the very first expanded Club World Cup?
