The German men's team faced England on Tuesday evening (1-1) with the shirt of their female counterpart.

The idea: to draw attention to women's football before the Euro, scheduled for July 6 to 31 in England.

The Mannschaft, quadruple world champion, thus played with a two-star jersey because the women are double world champions (2003, 2007).

"It's a little hello from the men's team, it proves that we support each other, that's football," said a spokeswoman for the women's team, Annette Seitz.

Belgium will do the same against Poland this Wednesday in the League of Nations.

A way for the Red Devils to show "clearly their support for their female counterparts, who will be playing in England for their second European Championship in a row", explains the Belgian Federation.

Last year, coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg's team did the same, playing in the boys' jersey against Chile, just before Euro 2020.

Our Devils will play against Poland in the @BelRedFlames shirt.

And since it would be silly not to take advantage of the idea, Spain has also decided to send this little nod to its women's team, "in tribute to the very good work that their colleagues are doing" , explained the general manager of Adidas Football, Nick Craggs.
