England Lionesses handed Legacy Caps ahead of the Arnold Clark Cup

England’s preparations to defend their title at the Arnold Clark Cup started with the receiving of commemorative legacy caps at a special ceremony at St.George's Park.

Prior to the first game of the tournament, against Korea Republic in Milton Keynes, Sarina Wiegman invited four Lionesses legends to present each player with a velvet cap bearing their individual legacy number.

As part of last year’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, The FA confirmed that every single player who has represented the Lionesses would receive their own legacy cap in recognition of their unique place in England history. Dating back to the very first official FA match in 1972 it’s said to mirror a similar initiative with the senior men’s team.
