Teams Wear Special 'Thank You' Inscription Above Club Crest in Return Of UEFA Competitions

After all big leagues have finished their seasons, fans now utterly await for this month's UEFA Champions League & Europa League final tournaments. Now UEFA announced that the kits of teams will pay tribute to the front workers of the COVID19 pandemic.

“I am delighted that our competitions are back, but we must not forget the people whose dedication and personal sacrifices have given us the opportunity to start playing again,” said UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin on Monday.

When UEFA competitions return this week, the shirt of every player will carry two important words - 'Thank You'.

This #ThankYou is a symbol of European football’s recognition of key workers on the front lines of the #COVID19 pandemic.

“Football’s gratitude is not limited to words. This unprecedented period has taught us that football really can be an important vehicle for good,” said the UEFA president.

In addition to the ‘Thank You’ message on their shirts, the captains taking part in UEFA club competitions in August are expected to wear ‘No to Racism’ armbands as a reminder of UEFA and European football’s united opposition to any kind of discrimination, whether in sport or wider society.

We will add pictures of the special UEFA 'Thank You' kits as soon as they become available.
