The Golden Era: Relive Brazil’s 2002 World Cup Glory

Step back in time and connect with one of football’s most glorious moments. The 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan saw Brazil clinch their record fifth title, the legendary Penta. This Retro Brazil 2002/03 Home Jersey is a faithful tribute to the kit worn by the Seleção during that unforgettable tournament, a symbol of skill, flair, and ultimate victory.

World Cup Triumph: The Kit of Champions

Cafu: The Captain’s Legacy Embodied

This specific jersey proudly bears the name and number of the legendary right-back and captain, Cafu #2.

His presence on this shirt signifies resilience, leadership, and the heart of that championship-winning squad.

Design & Details: An Iconic Look Recreated

The 2002 Brazil home kit is instantly recognizable and deeply loved by fans worldwide. This replica meticulously recreates the key design elements that made the original so special.

Classic Brazil Yellow & Green

The vibrant, unmistakable Canarinho yellow base is perfectly complemented by the classic green trim on the collar and sleeves. This iconic colour combination is synonymous with Brazilian football and its attacking, free-flowing style.

The 2002 Crest & Nike Swoosh

The jersey features the authentic Brazil national team crest from that era, proudly displayed over the heart. Adjacent to it is the Nike Swoosh, the mark of the kit supplier for the champions. The placement and style are true to the original design, capturing the visual identity of the 2002 kit.

Cafu #2 Printing

The back of the jersey features the name ‘CAFU‘ and the number ‘2‘ in the official font style used during the 2002 tournament. This printing is a high-quality application designed to replicate the look of the original player kits, allowing you to wear the name of a true Brazilian legend.
