Ukraine must modify its team shirt for EURO2020 after UEFA upheld part of a Russian complaint about slogans and a map that included Crimea.
The yellow-and-blue shirt design unveiled on Sunday angered Russian officials by including an outline of Ukraine’s land territory with the Crimea region which Russia annexed in 2014.
However, one of the two slogans woven into the inside of the shirt collar — “Glory to the heroes” — must be removed. “Glory to Ukraine” can remain visible on the back of the shirt’s neck. UEFA said it approved “Glory to the heroes” last December, separate from the other slogan which was allowed two years earlier.
