2004 Season Portugal Home Retro Kit

At the 2004 UEFA European Championship in Portugal, the host nation kicked off their campaign wearing this home kit. In the group stage, they defeated Greece 2-0 in their opener, suffered a narrow 1-2 loss to Russia in their second match, and secured a 2-1 victory over Spain in their final group game to advance as group runners-up. In the quarterfinals against England, the match ended 2-2 after 120 minutes, with Portugal ultimately prevailing 6-5 in a penalty shootout. In the semifinals, they defeated the Netherlands 2-1 to meet Greece again in the final. Unfortunately, they fell 0-1 to their opponents, settling for second place. At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo made his debut on the major tournament stage, while the “Golden Generation” led by Figo and Deco demonstrated formidable strength. The team's sharp attack and resilient defense became unforgettable memories for home fans.
Crafted by Nike, this jersey continues Portugal's iconic crimson red theme, perfectly echoing the three colors of the Portuguese flag and showcasing national pride. The retro crew neck design is clean and sophisticated, with delicate gold stitching at the collar enhancing the overall texture.
