First Muslim athlete to wear mask at World Cup
During the 2026 World Cup, England defender Jude Spence revealed that he had suffered a fractured jaw prior to the tournament, which required him to wear a protective carbon fiber mask throughout the matches. Despite his serious injury, he continued to play and participated in all the group stage games, wearing the mask bearing the number 25 that reflects his age and his jersey number with the national team. This was his first appearance with the national team in a World Cup, making the moment particularly special given the defensive crisis currently facing the team.
