If you’ve ever loaded into a ranked eFootball 2024 Mobile match only to realize your kit clashes with the opposing team, or you just want to rep your favorite club’s third kit for a friendly with friends, you’re not alone. Learning how to change kit in eFootball 2024 Mobile is one of the simplest quality of life tweaks you can make to your gameplay experience, but it’s easy to miss the option if you don’t know where to look. I’ve fumbled through the menus enough times to figure out every workaround for every game mode, so you won’t have to waste match time stuck sorting through settings when you could be scoring goals.
How to Change Kit in eFootball 2024 Mobile for Standard Match Modes
The process for switching kits in casual, ranked, and local friendly matches is almost identical, and only takes a few taps once you know where to look. First, select your desired match mode and pick your base squad, then wait for the pre-match lobby screen to load. You won’t see the kit selection option until you’ve confirmed your base squad for the match, so don’t go hunting for it before you pick your starting 11.
Once your squad is confirmed, look for the small t-shirt icon in the top right corner of the screen, right next to the squad edit button. Tapping this icon pulls up all available kits for your selected club, including home, away, third, and any limited edition event kits you’ve unlocked. You can tap each option to preview how it looks on your squad before confirming your choice.
For ranked online matches, the game will automatically send you a pop-up prompt if your selected kit clashes with the opponent’s, so you can switch to an alternate option without backing out of the lobby. If you’re using a custom created club instead of a licensed one, all your uploaded custom kits will show up in this menu too, so you can pick the design you want for each match.
Unlocking New Kits to Use in Your Squad
You don’t have to stick to the default home and away kits that come preloaded with your chosen club. Most limited edition kits are unlocked through seasonal event challenges, login rewards, or in-game shop purchases with GP, not real money, so you don’t have to spend extra to customize your look. The most reliable ways to unlock new kits include:
- Complete weekly challenge missions that list kit rewards as a prize, usually for winning 3-5 matches in a specific game mode
- Log in during club partnership events, which often drop free commemorative kits for popular teams like Barcelona, Manchester United, or Juventus
- Purchase standard club kits from the in-game shop for 10,000 to 20,000 GP, which is easy to earn from 2-3 ranked match wins
- Upload custom kits if you’re using a created club, by importing PNG files through the edit squad menu (available only on Android and iOS 16+ devices)
Just note that custom uploaded kits won’t show up for your opponents in online matches, only in local friendlies and single player modes, so don’t waste time designing a fancy kit if you mostly play ranked. Licensed event kits will show up for both you and your opponent, so those are the best choice if you want to show off your custom look to other players.
Changing Kits for Custom Dream Team Squads
If you use the Dream Team mode, the kit change process is a little different than standard licensed club matches. First, you have to assign a base club to your Dream Team first, otherwise you’ll only have access to the generic default eFootball kits. You can change your Dream Team’s base club at any time from the squad settings menu, without losing any of your player progress, so you can switch between your favorite teams every season if you want.
Once you’ve assigned a base club, go to the “Customize Squad” tab, select the shirt icon on the left hand side, and pick which kit you want to use as your default for all Dream Team matches. You can still switch it on a per-match basis from the pre-match lobby, but setting a default saves you time if you have a favorite kit you use every game.
A lot of new players assume they’re stuck with the plain white default kit when they first start Dream Team, but that’s only because they haven’t assigned a base club yet. I made that exact mistake my first month playing, so I know how frustrating it is to not find the option when you first start out. You can also unlock exclusive Dream Team kits by competing in cross-seasonal championship events, which are only available to players who reach the top 3 ranks in their regional division.
Common Kit Change Issues and Quick Fixes
Even if you follow all the steps correctly, you might run into a few glitches that stop you from switching kits. First, if the kit icon is greyed out in the pre-match lobby, that’s almost always because you haven’t finished downloading all the game’s asset files. You can fix this by going to the settings menu, selecting “Download Assets,” and making sure all club kit packs are fully installed before you queue for a match. This is especially common after a big game update, when new kit assets are added but not automatically downloaded.
Another common issue is custom kits not showing up: if you uploaded a custom kit and it’s not appearing, check that the file size is under 1MB, and that it follows the official eFootball kit dimension guidelines, otherwise the game will reject it automatically. You also can’t use custom kits with copyrighted logos or inappropriate imagery, as the game’s automated system will block those from being uploaded.
If you’re playing a tournament mode, some events restrict kit changes entirely to ensure fair play, so you won’t see the option at all in those modes. Don’t worry, that’s not a bug, it’s an intentional feature to prevent kit clash exploits that give players an unfair advantage. If you still can’t switch kits after trying all these fixes, restarting the game almost always resolves any temporary menu glitches, so that’s always the first troubleshooting step I recommend to other players.
At the end of the day, small customizations like switching your kit make your eFootball experience feel far more personal, even if it doesn’t impact your in-game stats. Once you know how to change kit in eFootball 2024 Mobile, you’ll never have to sit through a match with clashing colors or use a kit you don’t like again. Take a few minutes to unlock your favorite team’s kits next time you log in, and you’ll be able to rep your club properly every time you step onto the virtual pitch.
