Euro 2022: FA acknowledges England squad's period concerns over white shorts

The English Football Association (FA) has released a statement acknowledging that players "will be taken into consideration" for future kit designs after concerns from England's squad about wearing white while on their period.

It was against the backdrop of the tennis conversation around Wimbledon's antiquated all-white rule that England women's players, fresh off of their opening match 1-0 win over Austria, were questioned about the classic all-white England kit.

Following the tournament opener, goalscorer Beth Mead said: "It's something we've fed back to Nike, hopefully they're going to change that [the colour]. It's very nice to have an all-white kit but sometimes it's not practical when it's the time of the month.
