Bizzare Premier League rules not allowing Liverpool to wear Champions Badge

Despite earning a golden badge after winning FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar, Liverpool will not be able to show it off on their Premier League kit.

The prestigious golden badge will be awarded to the club who won FIFA Club World Cup, and Liverpool will be able to use until the next edition in 2021.

A FIFA spokesperson said: “As per the usage guidelines, the winning team can wear the FIFA World Champions Badge from the day it becomes champions up to and including the final of the next edition of the tournament.”

That means they will be able to wear it starting in the Champions League Round of 16 against Atletico Madrid, but they won’t be able to do so in Premier League.

Barcelona and Real Madrid were allowed to use it in LaLiga, but Premier League regulations does not allowed a kit other than the regular one to be use during the game.

Liverpool could wear it in FA Cup games, but need to submit a formal application.
