England kick-off their World Cup journey on November 21st against Iran but what kit will Gareth Southgate’s side be wearing for their curtain-raiser?
The Three Lions go into the game looking to kickstart their competition and they may need to win the game, given that they have been handed a tricky-looking group on paper.
Southgate’s men will face Iran in the opening game but will also have to contend with a hugely improved USA side, and a Wales team making their first World Cup appearance in a generation.
England’s first game kicks off at 1 pm on Monday, November 21st, and there is going to be a huge amount of intrigue surrounding the fixture.
Iran, after all, are ranked 23rd in the world, while England are currently fifth, as per FIFA’s official rankings.
What kit will the Three Lions be wearing when they take on the side from the Middle East? Let’s dive right into it.
England have been drawn as the home side against Iran, meaning they will likely be wearing their new white kit, with a blue trim.
Iran have a white home kit and a red away kit, so they will likely be in their change strip against the Three Lions.
England also have a white home strip and a red away strip, so it makes little sense for them to line up in their away shirt.
England have already worn their new home kit for the World Cup, having debuted it against Italy in a 1-0 defeat in the UEFA Nations League.
No.
The two sides have never met in either a competitive game or a friendly, so this game will mark their first encounter.
Still, the Three Lions will be desperate to get off to a good start as they aim to, again, progress deep into a competition, having reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2020.
