This Valentine’s Day, celebrated South African designer Thebe Magugu continues his love affair with sports-inspired fashion, unveiling the Magugu F.C Training Kit with power couple Zakes Bantwini and Nandi Madida.

The collection features a Women’s League Magugu F.C Shift Dress, cinched at the waist with an Obi-Belt, and a Men’s Magugu F.C Pink Jersey, both drawing inspiration from vintage soccer jerseys. This aesthetic has been a signature in Magugu’s work, with the debut of his Magugu F.C Home Jersey in 2024 setting the tone for his fusion of sport and style.

In recent years, sportswear has transcended the field, blurring the lines between performance gear and everyday fashion. From luxury runways to street style, soccer jerseys, tracksuits, and athleisure pieces have cemented themselves as wardrobe staples. Magugu’s latest release reflects this cultural shift, where the nostalgia of classic sportswear meets modern tailoring and high fashion sensibilities.


The Magugu F.C Training Kit launches on February 14, making it a bold and stylish statement for Valentine’s Day.
The Magugu F.C Training Kit for women & men becomes available at Magugu House & www.thebemagugu.com.
