He wears 20 for the United States, and the shirts here come with that nameset applied.
Yes. Every Folarin Balogun USMNT jersey here is a licensed Nike product made for U.S. Soccer.
Match Authentic is what the players wear: slim fit, Aero-FIT fabric on the 2026 kits, heat-applied crest. Stadium is the fan build with a relaxed cut and a sewn-on badge at a lower price.
On 12 June 2026 at SoFi Stadium, Balogun scored twice against Paraguay. No United States player had scored two goals in a World Cup match since 1930. He finished the tournament as the USA's outright top scorer with three, a tally that put him past Landon Donovan's 2010 haul and left only Bert Patenaude's four from 1930 ahead of him in the record books.
That is the context for the 20 on the back of every shirt on this page. The Balogun nameset stopped being a hopeful pick and became the one people ask for by name.
Balogun was born in Brooklyn to Nigerian parents and raised in London, which meant he was eligible to play for three national teams. He came through Arsenal's academy from the age of eight, went on loan to Middlesbrough, then broke out at Reims, where a season of goals in Ligue 1 made him the most productive American forward that any of Europe's top five leagues had seen.
In May 2023 he chose the United States over England and Nigeria. A month later he was on the pitch, and by his second cap he had scored in a Nations League final. Monaco paid €40 million for him that August and he has repaid it: 29 goals for the club and, this season, their Player of the Season award. He is a penalty-box striker who lives on the last defender's shoulder, and the numbers back it up, with 444 touches inside the opposition box at Monaco.
The 2026 shirts are the ones tied to what he just did. Nike's home, nicknamed Stripes, is a Sail base cut through with wavy red bands that trace back to the 1994 and 2012 kits, with "The Best of U.S." printed inside the collar. The away Stars is Dark Obsidian with Pure Platinum accents and a grid-star pattern built into the knit.
The Balogun 2026 Match Authentic Away and Home are the on-field builds, made with Nike's Aero-FIT, a stitch-specific knitting process that opens and closes mesh zones across the shirt for airflow. The 2026 Stadium Home is currently sold out through every size, which is its own kind of review.
The 24/25 away is the sash, revived from the 1950 shirt worn when a team of part-timers beat England at a World Cup. It is here in Stadium and Match Authentic, though sizes are thinning on the replica. The 24/25 home is the clean white with red, white and blue ribbing at the collar and "One Nation, One Team" inside the neck, stocked in short and long sleeve.
Further back, the 22/23 home is the kit built on American sport: dueling Swooshes on the sleeves borrowed from NFL jerseys, and the crest centered the way NBA teams do it. Balogun had not yet committed to the USA when it was made.
If you want the shirt from the goals, take a 2026. Match Authentic is slim with a heat-applied crest and Aero-FIT; Stadium is relaxed with a sewn-on badge and a lower price. Sizes on the popular builds go quickly, so check the selector before adding a nameset, since customized jerseys are final sale.
