The limited-edition jersey is raising money for medical aid to Cuba.
Massive Attack have teamed up with Dublin football club Bohemian F. C. on a special third shirt for the 2026 season.
The one-off shirt will be worn in the FAI Cup, Ireland’s national knockout football competition, and was designed jointly by the band and the club. It features Massive Attack’s logo and a red and khaki colour scheme inspired by Cuban football kits, the Cuban flag and the Irish-Cuban connection.
The collaboration comes as Cuba faces a deepening economic and energy crisis, with shortages of fuel, medicines and other essential supplies putting increasing pressure on the country’s healthcare system.
30% of profits from sales of the shirt will be split between the Cuba Solidarity Campaign’s Cuba Vive Medical Aid Appeal and mediCuba-Europe, providing medical equipment and supplies to Cuba’s struggling hospitals.
The back of the shirt features the words, “in my son’s veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels”, a reference to a 1965 speech by Che Guevara. Inside, the neck tape references Massive Attack’s classic 1998 single ‘Teardrop’, featuring the lyric “Love is a doing word”.
Bohemian F. C. is based in the Phibsborough neighbourhood of North Dublin, and has previously collaborated with Annie Mac, Bob Marley and Kneecap, among others, on special products.
Find more information about the collaboration below. The shirt is available to buy via Bohemian F. C.’s online store.
In April, Massive Attack released their first new music in six years, the Tom Waits collaboration ‘Boots On The Ground’.
Well-known for their political messaging, that release arrived shortly after the group's Robert del Naja was arrested at a Palestine Action protest in London.
Earlier this year, The Prodigy released a limited-edition football shirt in collaboration with Danish sportswear brand Hummel.
