French football team FC Nantes will wear a commemorative kit this weekend to mark the first anniversary of the death of Emiliano Sala.
The French club, which usually wears yellow and green, will instead be sporting a blue and white kit for Sunday’s league match against Bordeaux to represent the striker’s home country of Argentina.
It said the decision was made because Sala had “dreamed of wearing the jersey of the Argentine selection” and was “a way of paying homage to him”.
The special kit can also be purchased though the club’s official store and all profits will be sent to the star’s two training clubs in Argentina.
On the pitch at Stade de la Beaujoire, a picture of Sala will be placed in the centre circle while a minute’s applause marks his memory.
