Awesome | Netherlands Players Again Train in Kit Of Their First Amateur Club
Update: Making it a tradition, the Dutch national team players once again donned the shirts of their youth clubs during training. This practice was first introduced by the Netherlands national team back in 2022.
Netherlands National Team Players x First-Ever Club Kits - 2023
We saw some new youth club kits in action as several players were not nominated for the Dutch national team one year ago. For example, the kit of WDS'19, the first club of Virgil Van Dijk, and the shirt of RKSV Pancratius, the first club of Botman.
June 2022: The 25 players of the Dutch national team took to the training ground on Friday wearing not the usual training top.
National Football Day - Dutch Players Wear Kit of Their First Club
Every player of the Netherlands national team wore the kit of his first-ever amateur club. This was an idea of Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) to officially kick off 'National Football Day' (De Nationale Voetbaldag). The KNVB called on all football fans to kit themselves out in the shirt of their former amateur club to highlight the social value of football.
For example, Frenkie de Jong wore the shirt of ASV Arkel, Steven Berghuis donned the shirt of LAC Frisia 1883 while Manchester City’s Nathan Ake stepped out in a VV Wilhelmus shirt.

Emiliano Martinez Debuts Custom Golden Adidas Predator Yashin Trophy Gloves
Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez debuted a unique pair of custom golden Adidas Predator goalkeeper gloves during a recent match against England. The bespoke design was created exclusively for the shot-stopper by Adidas to commemorate a major individual milestone. Big thanks to @marcadegol.
The special edition gloves were presented to Martinez following his second consecutive Yashin Trophy win, honoring his standing as the best goalkeeper in world football. The design features a prominent metallic gold colorway across the backhand and punch zone, serving as a direct visual tribute to the prestigious award.
