“We are thrilled to offer this new innovation to all athletes playing for Nike-sponsored federations this summer,” says Jordana Katcher, VP Women’s Global Sport Apparel. “Professional footballers play two 45-minute halves without breaks or time-outs.

"Many told us they can spend several minutes on-pitch concerned that they may experience leakage from their period. When we showed them this innovation, they told us how grateful they were to have this short to help provide confidence when they can’t leave the pitch.”
The designs are also meant to tribute to the nations' respective cultures. Australia, for example, has a home kit that features a created-by-hand acrylic pour and marbling pattern, "illustrating Australia’s diverse country and culture as well as the transformation and dedication of the national team over time."
New Zealand, the other host, has a home kit designed with black and silver spray paint techniques to capture the country's iconic Silver Fern identity. The bright blue away kit is a nod to the team's 1991 qualifying squad, which marked the first time the women's side competed in the quadrennial tournament.
Kick off for the highly anticipated tournament is slated for Thursday, July 20.
