Match issued Israel 2019 third/special shirt, issued to center back Orel Dgani #19 for the Euro 2020 qualification match against Poland away on June 10, 2019 at the National Stadium in Warsaw. Dgani was an unused substitute as Israel were comprehensively defeated 4-0 by Poland, remaining in second place in the group.
Dgani has appeared sporadically for the national team, and has only been a starter (as a right back) for about half a year during the Euro 2016 qualifiers. In fact, since the end of the Euro 2016 qualifiers, he has only made a single appearance in almost 4 years, against Austria in March 2019.
This is a very special and unique shirt, as it was specially made for this match against Poland. The reason for this is because Israel`s home kit is white while the away kit is a very light blue, meaning both of them clash with Poland`s white home kit. As a result, Puma designed this shirt for this match, which notably has a different design and feel from the home and away kits, not just a different color.
This third kit would then later be used one more time, in the qualifier against Slovenia away three months later.
