Belgium to Play in Blue Kits Against Senegal for Colorblind Viewers

Belgium will don their blue kit instead of their traditional red jerseys against Senegal's green shirts later this evening, a move aimed at assisting viewers with color blindness.

The combination of red and green often poses a significant challenge for individuals with color blindness, medically known as Color Vision Deficiency (CVD).

While the light blue kit, featuring pink accents, bears some resemblance to green, it was determined that the colors are distinct enough to prevent confusion during the World Cup Round of 16 match.

The initiative to support those with color blindness is considered vital by FIFA, the global football governing body, which has affirmed its commitment to inclusivity.
