regular goalkeeper shirts.

In principle, each team shall wear its official team kit as declared on the team

reserve team kit or, if necessary, a combination of the official and the reserve
team kits.

Each player shall wear a number between 1 and 23 on the front and back
of his team shirt and on his playing shorts. The colour of the numbers must
contrast clearly with the main colour of the shirts and shorts (light on dark or
vice versa) and be legible from a distance for spectators in the stadium and
television viewers in accordance with the FIFA Equipment Regulations. It is
not compulsory for the name of the player to appear on his shirt during the
preliminary competition.

competition logo of the FIFA World Cup 2022™, which shall be affixed on

sleeve. FIFA shall issue the participating member associations with guidelines
for the use of official terminology and graphics, which will also contain
instructions for the use of the players’ sleeve badges.
