What Patch Does Iran Wear at the 2026 World Cup?
By Patch FC Editorial Team · Last updated 2026-07-02 · Sources: FIFA, Footy Headlines
Right sleeve: the standard black or white tournament badge. The light or dark version depends on the kit.
Left sleeve: the rotating round patch, starting with Unite for Peace in the group stage, then Football Unites the World and Unite for Education through the knockouts.
Team Melli take the field in red, white and green — the colours of the Iranian national identity — and, without a World Cup title to their name, they are not among the seven former champions who earn the gold right-sleeve badge. Iran wear the standard black or white version of the 2026 "26" tournament emblem instead, with kit contrast dictating the choice: the white-dominant home shirt suits the darker badge, while the red away kit can shift to the lighter variant depending on design. Iran are placed in Group G for the 2026 competition.
On the left sleeve, the rotating round patch tracks the team's journey through the tournament. It begins with "Unite for Peace" in the group stage and shifts to new designs as the knockout rounds open up. The table below maps each patch to its corresponding round. These are aftermarket reproduction patches for the 2026 World Cup.
