England names to disappear from shirts in Belgium friendly - to raise awareness of dementia

England during the international friendly match between England and Brazil at Wembley Stadium on March 23, 2024 in London, England.

England will start the game against Belgium with names on the backs of shirts – only for them to disappear in the second half. 

It's all part of a campaign to raise awareness of dementia, with the national team taking part in the initiative as part of a partnership between Alzheimer’s Society and the FA. With almost a million people living with the disease in the UK, it's estimated that one in three people will develop dementia in their lifetime – and there still isn't a known cure.
