The fate of football matches often rests in the hands of the captains. Captains wear an ‘armband’. But this time, Argentina’s Messi and Portugal’s Ronaldo have something higher than just that band. There is a special badge on the jersey of these two superstar players, named the ‘Legacy Badge’.
Playing in their fifth World Cup this time, Messi and Ronaldo have stepped into a historic elite milestone. To honor them, FIFA has introduced this special ‘Legacy Badge’. It represents the highest honor bestowed upon them by the world’s football governing body. Every footballer who participates in five World Cups will have this special badge on their jersey.
Apart from the ‘Legacy Badge’ on the jerseys of Messi and Ronaldo, the ‘FIFA World Cup’ is written right below that badge. Additionally, the jerseys of both stars feature their names above the jersey numbers, and their respective national flags have been placed on their sleeves.
