With only two days left until the opening match against Canada, it is clear that the Belgium national team must change its white kit.
The reason the Belgians have to change is because it has “LOVE” embroidered on the neck of the shirts.
– The word “LOVE” should be gone. It’s sad, but FIFA gives us no other choice. Federation president Peter Bossart said according to the Belgian newspaper Nieuwsblad that the rest of the equipment will not change.
The shirts were produced in September, when the Belgium national team wanted to send a message to the football world during the World Cup in Qatar. Now Belgium is forced to change its position, close to the premiere.
“very disappointed”
The restrictions imposed by FIFA led to reactions from several national teams.
“We are very disappointed by FIFA’s decision, which we believe is unprecedented,” he added. Belgium, Denmark, England, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany and Wales wrote in a joint statement after the “One Love” file was banned.
