Update, September 23, 2026: The Esports Nations Cup was subsequently postponed from November 2026 to November 2027. This article records the August 2 jersey announcement as published; see the organizer’s August 18 update.

France unveiled the first Esports Nations Cup national jersey on August 2 at the Esports Festival on the Champs-Élysées. The adidas-designed royal-blue kit was presented by national-team manager Bora “YellOwStaR” Kim with ambassador Kamel “Kameto” Kebir and French players, according to the Esports Foundation.

The organizer said France had secured participation in 13 of the competition’s 16 planned titles. Its release described a rooster emblem, arcade-inspired typography and flag-colour details in the wider national kit system. The full French delegation had not yet been named.

This was a jersey reveal, not confirmation that the inaugural competition would take place on its original schedule. The foundation postponed the event to November 2027 on August 18. It has not announced when the complete French delegation or its revised competition timetable will be confirmed.
