    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Per BILD, UEFA have banned Bayern Munich from donning their red home kit in any of their Champions League fixtures in the 2024/25 campaign. The report adds that the jersey numbers and players' names, written in black font on the back of the shirts, do not offer enough contrast, thereby violating visibility regulations for jersey numbers, as per UEFA. The apex body has reportedly asked the Bavarian side to change the font colours to white.
