Historic jerseys, a unique piece for the event, and books that go beyond the score. Everything you need to experience the best World Cup in recent times with discernment and style.

The 2026 World Cup is here. For the first time in history, it will be hosted by three countries — the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and will feature 48 teams ready to compete. It's the biggest tournament ever organized, and it comes at a time when soccer, beyond being a sport, is culture, identity, and conversation.

At The Espanista, we weren't going to stand aside. We've curated a selection of products that are as much about the football played on the field as the football experienced off it: in the stands, on the couch, in the streets. A jersey we designed for this World Cup, vintage pieces with history, and books that understand football as more than just ninety minutes.

 

Our Jersey

The Spain 2026 World Cup jersey — made here, for this moment

For this World Cup, we've designed our own jersey. It's not a replica or a licensed product — it's a unique piece, conceived by The Espanista for those who want to wear the World Cup spirit without compromising on discernment.

Burgundy color, yellow typography on the chest with the Spain World Cup 26 crest, and on the back, what makes it different: the names of the 48 participating teams surrounding a large "WORLD CUP 26" that takes up the entire space. A jersey that not only speaks of Spain — it speaks of the entire tournament, its scale, and what it means to bring half the world together for one event.

You can wear it on match day, on the terrace while watching, or any day in June when the atmosphere already calls for it. It's the kind of piece you'll be glad to have had years from now.

Vintage Jerseys

The French one — because some teams always make a comeback

We offer a selection of collectible vintage jerseys for romantics, those who remember history and past tournaments.
The French jersey is one that best fits the spirit of the tournament. A team that knows what it's like to win a World Cup — they did it at home in 1998 and again in 2018 — and arrives at 2026 as one of the big favorites. The French navy blue has that understated elegance that few teams achieve, and in vintage format, it gains even more character.

Wearing it during this World Cup has a double meaning: it's a nod to history and a bet on the present. It's one of those pieces that needs no explanation for those who understand football.

The Books

For those interested in football even when there's no match

A World Cup lasts a month. But the conversation about football lasts much longer. These four books are for that purpose: to keep talking, thinking, and enjoying the game when the screen is off.

 

 

A Not-So-Practical Guide to Spanish Football — the one that will make you laugh and learn at the same time

The title says it all, yet reveals nothing of what awaits you inside. A Not-So-Practical Guide to Spanish Football is one of those books that can only exist in a country where football is taken so seriously that it now allows itself to be laughed at. Full of irony, real football culture, and that lateral perspective that makes everything you thought you knew about Spanish football sound different.

The perfect book to have on your nightstand during the World Cup, to read between matches, and to quote in any conversation to impress with minimal effort.

Wounds on the Skin: Football, Racism and Identity — the one you can't afford not to read

In a World Cup with 48 teams from all over the world, with players from completely different backgrounds and trajectories, this book arrives at the most opportune moment. Wounds on the Skin addresses the relationship between football, racism, and identity from a perspective that sports in general still need to normalize: that of those who have experienced it firsthand.

It's not a comfortable book, but it's a necessary one. And at €12.95, it's also the most accessible in the collection.

Football Jerseys: The Iconic Models of Classic Football Shirts — the one you'll want to have in print

If vintage jerseys have a history, this book is the archive where that history is stored. Classic Football Shirts is probably the most serious and passionate project about football apparel, and this volume brings together the most iconic models with visual production that turns each page into an object in itself.

It's the kind of book you browse through, leave on the table during the World Cup, someone passing by picks it up and can't put it down for half an hour. Also ideal as a gift for someone who already has everything, but doesn't have this yet.

Football Superheroes — the one that connects generations

Football has its myths, and this book brings them together. Football Superheroes is the perfect volume for those who grew up watching their idols and want to understand what made them great, but also for younger generations who are now discovering why certain names are pronounced differently. A book that stands alone and works even better during a World Cup, when each match brings new stories that will also become legends over time.

The 2026 World Cup is going to be big. The numbers already say so, the team poster announces it, and you can feel it in the air for those who have been waiting for June for months.

At The Espanista, we're going to experience it with our own jersey for the event, vintage pieces with history, and books that understand football for what it is: much more than just a sport. Because there are World Cups that are watched, and World Cups that are lived. This one will be the latter.
