In Belgium, Seraing had to change shirts at the end of the first half

To call what happened on Saturday in the Pro League match between Seraing United and Royal Antwerp F.C. unbelievable would be an understatement, to say the least. What took place on Saturday seemed to be a normal match, one of those played every weekend anywhere in the world, but it was not. Seraing United and Royal Antwerp F.C. appeared on the pitch with two almost identical kits that were almost entirely black, the only difference being that the latter had red details. A situation that obviously created a lot of confusion on the pitch with the players forced to play with these kits despite the difficulties, but only for the first 45 minutes. In the second half in fact, the home team players exhausted by the confusion created decided to take matters into their own hands and change the kit, despite the fact that according to all the rules of the championships it is up to the away team to do so. A change that should have solved all the problems, but it didn't. Many of the home team's players were without the away kit, so the club was forced to retrieve several directly from the store and add the numbers with marker or tape.

Something perhaps unheard of in the world of football, not least because the jerseys used for the match must absolutely be sent to the league, which either approves the clubs' choice or not. And apparently Royal Antwerp F.C. had to show up with the white away kit, which would not have created any problems. A chaos that also involved the Royal goalkeeper, who was forced at the end of the first half to wear a purple away jersey to avoid further problems. In an interview after the match, Seraing player Christophe Lepoint told the microphones: 'This story is obviously ridiculous and I don't want to talk about it. In fact, I laugh about it. At half-time I said that it was up to Antwerp to wear the white jersey, not us as we were at home'.
