England have introduced legacy numbers which will be given to every player to have represented the Lionesses over the last half century.
All 227 players that have represented the European Champions at senior international level have been handed their own unique number. The FA decided to introduce the scheme as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of England ’s first official women's international, which came against Scotland on November 18, 1972.
The current England side will wear their respective numbers for the first time in their next game, which comes in the Arnold Clark Cup clash against South Korea in Milton Keynes on February 16, 2023.
