Spain’s second star arrives on a Metro shirt
Spain’s second star is now travelling on the Metro too. The Madrid company has launched a limited edition of its retro Line 2 shirt to celebrate the World Cup won on 19 July, with new details that recall the final and the national team’s second title.
The shirt brings back the characteristic red of the line connecting Las Rosas with Cuatro Caminos, chosen for its immediate association with Spain’s colours. Above the number two, there are now two gold stars, one for the 2010 World Cup and another for the 2026 victory.
The design includes references to the final played in New York and to the two teams that fought for the title. On the back, the inscription “Campeones del Mundo 2026” appears, alongside the stars that make this version a distinct piece in the original collection.
The shirt keeps the Metro FC crest, inspired by the well-known diamond of the underground. The result blends football style with recognisable elements from the Madrid network, aimed at those who collect products linked to both sport and the city.
The special edition costs 29.95 euros and is sold in Metro shops located at Sol, Ópera y Plaza de Castilla stations. It can also be purchased online, although size availability will depend on stock as it is a limited run.
The new version is based on the collection launched in May, which linked different lines with World Cup-winning teams. Spain was associated with Line 2, while other shirts took France, Brazil, Argentina y Alemania as references.
In recent years, Metro has expanded its catalogue with sweatshirts, caps, accessories, toys and garments inspired by its graphic identity. The station shops have thus become a regular stop for tourists, transport enthusiasts and Madrid locals looking for items connected to the city.
The shirt brings the celebration from the main squares to the platforms. Among travellers in official kit, flags still hanging from balconies and memories of the champions’ parade, the second star now finds its own place on the Metro map.
