The anxiety and discomfort that the athletes expressed at the last European Championship, in 2022, won by the English for the first time, in the middle of Wembley Stadium, in a game with a period, prompted the federation to act, now leaving the team to fend for itself. line up completely in white to switch to blue shorts.
The new equipment will be used in Friday’s final, which will see England take on Brazil, respectively the European and South American champions, at Wembley.
In England, Manchester City, West Bromwich Albion and Swansea have already taken the opportunity to change their traditional uniforms to respond to requests from players.
