The Premier League has been proud to support The Royal British Legion since 2012, making a significant contribution to raising much-needed funds to help people in the Armed Forces community.
During Premier League matches over the weekends of 4-6 November and 11-12 November 2023 ahead of Remembrance weekend, players and match officials wore special-edition shirts embroidered with a poppy.
The players' match-worn were signed and made available to purchase in an auction throughout November and December, with the funds raised going to The Royal British Legion.
🌹 Football clubs across the UK take to the field wearing the iconic poppy emblem on their match-worn shirts, which will be up for grabs to raise funds for the @PoppyLegion Poppy Appeal!
