For the 2026 World Cup, FIFA has introduced a special 'Debut Patch' to be worn by players making their first appearance in the tournament, but the placement of this new badge varies between national teams. Mexico has positioned the debutant patch on the left sleeve of their kits, whereas South Africa has opted to place it on the right sleeve. This new addition for the competition allows federations flexibility in integrating the debutant patch alongside other official tournament sleeve badges.
