Czech Republic football jersey 2022-23

Preparations were made for the World Cup in Qatar, but the Czech Republic never qualified. In March 2022, the dream was shattered in Stockholm when Robin Quaison scored in extra time, sending Sweden through with a 1-0 victory. The white Puma jersey thus came to belong to a strange national team period: a World Cup cycle without the actual World Cup finals.

FOOTBALL MEMORIES

Instead, the summer of 2022 was spent among Europe's elite in Nations League A. The Czechs were drawn into a group with Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland, and in Prague, they were mere seconds away from a sensational victory over Spain. Jakub Pešek made it 1-0 after four minutes, Jan Kuchta chipped the Czech Republic ahead 2-1, but Iñigo Martínez equalized in the 90th minute.

The team stood on the shoulders of a strong Czech generation with Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal from West Ham, Patrik Schick as the main goal threat, and the young Adam Hložek on the rise. At the same time, the Nations League showed the gap to the absolute European elite: Portugal won 2-0 in Lisbon, and Spain did the same in Málaga.

The design is unusually simple: a white base, blue collar, red sleeve cuffs, and the country's coat of arms centrally above the large CZE. Puma described the model as a tribute to the national team's football heritage. It is a national team jersey from the period between the 2021 European Championship quarter-finals and the World Cup the Czech Republic never reached.
