The Fédération malienne de football (Femafoot) has introduced new kits for the national football team, the Aigles. The kits come in three versions: a beige jersey for home matches, a yellow jersey for away matches, and a green option. The official presentation of the home jersey took place at 10:45 am, witnessed by Modibo Traoré, secretary general of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Mahazou dit Baba Cisset, president of Femafoot, and Mamadou Traoré "Baboye", representative of WA TEAM-Sports.

The new home jersey features a light beige color with touches of green, yellow, and red, echoing the Malian national flag. The design aims to reflect the identity of the Aigles and the nation. According to Modibo Traoré, the new jersey is more than just a sports uniform, it represents the identity, memory, and bond between the team and the entire nation. The jersey incorporates Waï Aeromesh technology for optimal breathability, an ergonomic cut, and ultra-lightweight finish with thermocollated logos for maximum comfort.

Mahazou dit Baba Cisset expressed his pride in launching this new chapter in Malian football with a renewed selection. He emphasized that the choice of materials, design, and validation were not simple tasks, but the collaboration with WA TEAM-Sports resulted in a modern and consensual product that represents the colors, history, and hopes of the Malian people. Mamadou Traoré "Baboye" conveyed his gratitude to continue working with Femafoot, highlighting the modern, elegant, and faithful design to the colors of Mali.
