The Portugal national football team, governed by the Portuguese Football Federation, has established itself as a European powerhouse since its founding in 1914, winning the 2016 European Championship and 2019 Nations League while traditionally wearing their iconic red and green home kits (often with vertical stripes or checkerboard patterns) paired with green shorts, and white or black away kits, with legendary players like Cristiano Ronaldo, the nation’s all-time top scorer and most-capped player; Eusébio, the “Black Panther” who led Portugal to their 1966 World Cup semifinal; LuÃs Figo, the elegant winger and Ballon d’Or winner; and Rui Costa, the creative midfield maestro, all embodying Portugal’s technical flair and competitive spirit that have made them one of international football’s most respected teams.
