It's the international break, hated by some and loved by others. To brighten things up for everyone, Footy Headlines, in collaboration with Football Kit Archive, are taking a look at the battle for the best national teams.
The Top 40 National Team brands battle is based on the latest FIFA Ranking released in September 2023.

Adidas and Nike have a stranglehold on the market for national team kits. The top 10 list is exclusively made up of Adidas and Nike, with no other brand coming close. Puma have the third most teams, but they lack the biggest (and also most expensive) teams.

The top 40 list shows Adidas leading the way with 15 teams, Nike with 11 teams, Puma with 8 teams, and Majid, Joma, Kappa, Marathon, and Hummel each with 1 team.
