England to Again Wear Kits Without Names
The England national team will play without names on their shirts in the match against Belgium to raise awareness of the importance of Alzheimer's disease.
England to Wear Kits Without Names in Second Half vs Belgium To Highlight Memory Loss as One of the Symptoms of Dementia
The England vs Belgium game is part of a partnership with the Alzheimer's Society and aims to show that soccer should be memorable.
It's the third time that England makes Alzheimer's society by having no names on the back
The players will have their names missing on their shirts after the half-time break to highlight the loss of memories in people with dementia. The aim of the game is to raise awareness of the symptoms of dementia and encourage fans to seek a diagnosis if they notice signs in themselves or their loved ones.
Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK, but many people do not have a diagnosis and think that dementia is a normal part of aging. A diagnosis enables families to take precautions and get support.
The shirts will be donated by the national team after the game and auctioned off to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.
It is the third time that an England national team wears kits without names in support of the Alzheimer's Society. The Men's and Women's teams have done once so far.
Both England and Belgium will wear their away kits, meaning that we will also see the debut of the Tintin-inspired Belgium kit
With England wearing its away kit vs Belgium (at home at Wembley), we will also see the debut of the Tintin-inspired Belgium Euro 2024 away kit.
