“Eusébio’s legacy transcends generations, and this tribute kit reflects his enduring influence on Portuguese football and global sport,” said Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Performance Apparel. “By merging heritage-inspired design with modern innovation, we’re celebrating not only a football legend but also the culture and passion that make the game timeless.”
“When PUMA reached out to us and shared what they had in mind, I felt deeply moved and honored. Eusébio had a very close relationship with the brand and a sincere friendship with its founder, Mr. Rudolf Dassler. Seeing his memory now honored in such a beautiful and meaningful project fills me with pride. I’m sure Eusébio would be very happy with this tribute,” said Flora Bruheim, Eusebio’s Widow.
“Eusébio represents passion, talent, and pride for Portugal. Sixty years after his Ballon d’Or win, his legacy remains alive, inspiring not only those who knew his greatness but also future generations of Portuguese players. The Portuguese Football Federation, in partnership with PUMA, celebrates this legend with a unique kit that blends tradition and innovation, honoring the past and shaping the future of Portuguese football,” said João Medeiros Cardoso – Chief Marketing & Commercial Officer Portugal FA.
The Portugal men’s first team will debut the jersey for one game only on November 16th in Porto against Armenia.
The PUMA Portugal Eusébio Special Edition Kit will be available from the 4th November at puma.com and select retail partners worldwide.
