Official: Serie A Irreversibly Ban "2 Venezia Crests" From Kits
Venezia FC again played without a club crest on the left chest in their last Serie A match against Torino on September 27th. Already ahead of the match, Venezia FC released a statement they were informed by Lega Serie A to re-remove their crest for the remainder of the season.
Venezia FC players took the pitch in the first three rounds of the 2021/22 Serie A season without the club's lion or crest on their match shirts, as ordered by Lega Serie A, with reference to Article 5, Paragraph 1, of the Regolamento Divise da Gioco, the league’s regulations on match kits.
Serie A rules only allow club emblem to appear only once on shirt
By these regulations, "the emblem of the club" ("lo stemma della società") may appear only once on a match shirt, and Lega Serie A has interpreted the “Venezia” script on the chest of each Venezia FC match shirt as a club emblem.
In the previous two rounds of the season, Venezia FC, in an effort to further emphasize that the “Venezia” script is a reference to the city rather than the club, created and applied to its match shirts an updated version of the "Venezia" script, with the Venezia 1600 logo — the official mark of the city's celebration of its 1600th anniversary this year — embedded into the script, and in turn returned the club crest to the match shirts as well.
Venezia Informed By Lega Serie A To Re-Remove Club Crest
On Thursday 23 September, Lega Serie A informed Venezia FC in writing that the club remains in violation of Article 5 of the league's kit regulations. Therefore, Venezia FC will re-remove its club crest from its match shirts for the remainder of the 2021/22 Serie A season.

Uruguay Requests FIFA 'Legacy' Patch for Muslera's 2026 World Cup Kit
The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) has formally requested that FIFA allow goalkeeper Fernando Muslera to wear the special 'Legacy' patch on his jersey sleeve during the 2026 World Cup. The patch is designated for players who have participated in five or more World Cup tournaments, a milestone Muslera is reaching with his inclusion in the 2026 squad.
Muslera was initially excluded from receiving the patch by FIFA because he did not register any playing time during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, despite being part of the official squad. His previous World Cup appearances came in 2010, 2014, and 2018. The AUF is now pushing for his recognition alongside other five-time tournament veterans such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Neuer, and Luka Modrić.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper is expected to start in Uruguay's opening match of the 2026 World Cup. If FIFA approves the request, Muslera's jersey will feature the 'Legacy' patch, marking his long-standing service to the national team across five different World Cup campaigns.
