Real Madrid, adidas and Brazil's FARM Rio launch a floral football capsule

Real Madrid, sportswear maker adidas and the Brazilian fashion label FARM Rio launched a joint capsule collection on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, bringing FARM Rio's botanical graphics and tropical prints to the Spanish football club's merchandise. The range covers pre-match jerseys, track tops and trousers, hoodies, skirts, scarves, caps, tote bags and socks. The lead piece is a dark green jersey covered in large pink flowers, with no sponsor logo on the front. The campaign was shot around altinha, a keep-ball game played on Brazil's beaches, and features Real Madrid players Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Arda Guler. The launch coincides with the opening of FARM Rio's first store in Madrid. The collection is sold through selected adidas stores, the adidas website and Real Madrid's official stores.

Football clothing has moved a long way from the training pitch. Club shirts and jackets are now worn as everyday fashion, and brands increasingly team up with designers to create pieces that appeal to people who may never kick a ball. This collection is a clear example: it uses a fashion label's signature prints, includes skirts and tote bags alongside jerseys, and is clearly aimed at style-conscious buyers, including women, as much as at match-going fans.

For FARM Rio, the tie-up is a way into a new market. Launching a collection with one of the world's best-known football clubs at the same time as opening its first store in Madrid gives the brand a large, ready-made audience in Spain. For adidas and Real Madrid, the bright prints and the Brazil connection, underlined by a campaign built on a Brazilian beach game, add colour and novelty to the usual cycle of home and away kits.

The launch also shows how print-led design travels across cultures. FARM Rio's tropical patterns are the centre of the collection, and print-heavy designs of this kind have a global audience, including in India. Whether such capsules reach Indian stores depends on the brands' distribution, which has not been announced for this collection.

Short-term: Fans and fashion buyers can buy the capsule through adidas and Real Madrid stores, and the launch gives FARM Rio publicity as it opens in Madrid.

Long-term: Collaborations like this one strengthen the trend of football clubs acting as fashion brands, which could lead to more designer partnerships, more women's pieces in club ranges and more lifestyle products sold beyond match days.

Who is affected: Real Madrid fans, fashion shoppers, adidas and FARM Rio, other clubs and sportswear makers watching the success of fashion tie-ups, and designers looking for partnerships with sports brands.
