The black jerseys to be worn by the players are the same model used by goalkeepers and were released by Nike for the 2022 World Cup. The uniform change will only be for the first half, after which the team will return to their traditional yellow shirts. The purpose of this action is to take a firm stance against racism in football.
After the match, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) plans to send the jerseys to political and sports authorities, including the presidents of FIFA, UEFA, and CONMEBOL, as well as Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Minister of Racial Equality Aniele Franco.
