Three Good Reasons

Republic Of Ireland Women's Team To Continue Wearing White Shorts.

There was a possibility that the team was going to change to navy shorts.

It has been confirmed that the Republic of Ireland women's soccer team won't be switching to darker shorts, after discussions with senior members of the squad.

The Ireland women's rugby team have made a permanent switch to navy from white shorts to address period concerns and wore them throughout this year's Six Nations.

The Ireland soccer team, had discussions about a potential colour change but they have opted to continue wearing white shorts.

An FAI spokesperson said: "The Football Association of Ireland can confirm that, following discussions with the Ireland Women's National Team players, that the team will wear the traditional green jersey, white shorts and green socks as part of the new Castore home kit.

"The FAI consulted with the senior leadership group within the squad and with management on the possibility of switching the colour of the shorts but with the supply of protective underwear the players felt that staying with white shorts was the preferred option."
