Tshwane, South Africa – 29 October 2026 – Global sports company PUMA and Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club today launched the Third kit for the 2026/27 season.
The Rise Kit is inspired by the limitless African sky, with the white and blue colours representing hope, peace, opportunity and the belief that greatness knows no boundaries. The new kit aligns with the Masandawana’s season-long campaign Never Stop Rising which reflects the Club’s continuous pursuit of excellence, while celebrating the collective journey of the Yellow Nation across the African continent.
The launch of The Rise Kit coincides with the Club’s National Children’s Day activities, giving the kit a deeper social purpose. Under the message “Every Child Deserves to Rise” the Club will champion children’s rights, dignity, protection and empowerment.
“Through this Rise Kit, we aim to inspire children and the youth to dream beyond the skies, believe in their limitless potential, and rise above their circumstances to turn their dreams into reality. Because every child deserves the opportunity to dream, to achieve, and to rise. Those of us leadership positions, this kit is reminder to continue creating a conducive environment that natures and protects the well-being of kids.” said Mamelodi Sundowns Club Ambassador and former Captain Hlompho Kekana. “We believe The Rise Kit creates a strong emotional connection between the Club, PUMA and our supporters, while giving the Third Kit a meaningful identity that extends beyond the football pitch,”
