Football Unites in Support of the Poppy Appeal

This November, MatchWornShirt is proud to stand together with football clubs throughout the United Kingdom in support of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

As a symbol of respect, clubs will wear shirts featuring an emblem of the poppy. After the matches, these unique shirts will be signed by the players who wore them and made available to own via auction, exclusively on the MatchWornShirt website and app. All of the net proceeds of these auctions will be allocated to the Royal British Legion.

In honour of Remembrance Day this year, we’re launching our biggest auction in our long-standing collaboration with the RBL. Match worn & signed shirts from 58 different teams will be available across the Premier League, Championship, League One, Women Super League and Rugby. From the past weekend, shirts from 17 Premier League teams went up for auction, marking the first time all big six clubs have featured on our platform in a single match day. 

This round of Premier League games delivered some fantastic moments. Matt O’Riley, who plays for Brighton, made a triumphant return from injury, scoring a debut goal against Manchester City, which also marked Pep Guardiola's longest losing streak in his storied career–four consecutive losses. Bruno Fernandes scored on his 250th appearance for the club in their 3-0 win over Leicester. Meanwhile, Liverpool continue their title charge, with Mo Salah extending his goal tally–165 Premier League goals in 274 appearances, making him the 8th highest scorer in the league’s history! 

For the remainder of November, we’ll also be running Poppy Appeal auctions for rugby, EFL League 1, and Championship teams across the UK, as well as more Premier League games, so make sure to keep an eye out!

Countless auctions are live now! Head over to our Poppies landing page to explore them all, find your favourite team, and tap the heart to stay updated on future auctions!
