STINGZ™ Unveil Kiribati Islands New Football Jerseys
STINGZ™ is pleased to unveil the official Kiribati Islands Football Federation (KIFF) home jersey for 2025.
The new home jersey is inspired by Kiribati’s national flag, with a red shoulder and upper chest panel transcending into an orange sunset hue, white waves in the mid section before transcending into a dark navy lower panel.
Sitting above the waves are the rising son with a frigate bird flying over, a nod to the layout of the national flag. A Polynesian-inspired tribal pattern is watermarked on the front and back panels to complete the bespoke design.
Last, but not least. The jersey features KIFF’s new branding in the form of a new crest, custom-designed by renowned graphic designer, Lia Tanasa.
In terms of construction and design concept, the Kiribati home jersey features a 90’s inspired contrast navy polo collar design with red piping and a v-slit construction.
Also forming the kit launch is the away and goal keeper jersey. All three shirts are available to buy.
Developing football on the islands
Kiribati itself is a remote Pacific island nation, and is making an ambitious push to transform its footballing future.
Despite its isolation and limited resources, KIFF, led by President Eriati Reebo, is working tirelessly to develop the sport and elevate Kiribati’s profile on the international stage.
As one of only two associate members of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) aiming to join FIFA, Kiribati is already recognised as one of the strongest non-FIFA teams globally. With support from key partners, including STINGZ™ and international ambassador Perry Groves, this vision is steadily becoming a reality.
KIFF is in the process of selecting players for it national team, after which the focus will shift to regional competitions. KIFF plans to organize matches against neighbouring Micronesian countries, providing players with invaluable experience and exposure. These matches will also help Kiribati build a case for OFC and FIFA membership.
Shirts for sale
The sale of football shirts has become a cornerstone of Kiribati’s football development strategy. These jerseys, designed to reflect the nation’s pride and culture, are being sold worldwide.
The funds raised are used to bring in foreign coaches, who provide world-class training to the national team and help elevate the standard of football across the islands.
