Every Nations League group has a story, but A1 is the one nobody wanted. France, Belgium and Italy between them hold most of the last decade’s major honours — and Turkey is the side nobody wants to travel to. Four matchdays in September decide who’s already in trouble.

France
Two World Cups and a European title in living memory. Les Bleus are the deepest squad in Europe and the blue-white-red is the template everyone else borrows from.
Shop FranceBelgium
A decade ranked number one in the world, built on a generation that turned the Red Devils shirt into a global seller. Red with yellow trim, and a crest you’d recognize from space.
Shop BelgiumItaly
Four World Cups and the 2020 European Championship. Azzurri blue is the oldest identity in international football and hasn’t needed a redesign since.
Shop ItalyTurkey
Red and white with the crescent and star — and an away support that has out-sung entire stadiums across three continents.
Shop Turkey🔥 September Fixtures
| Date | Home | Away | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 26 | Italy | Belgium | Two European heavyweights opening against each other — someone drops points immediately. |
| Sep 26 | Turkey | France | The trickiest away trip in the group, first up. |
| Sep 29 | Belgium | France | The headline fixture. Neighbours, rivals, and probably the group decider. |
| Sep 29 | Turkey | Italy | Istanbul under lights, and Italy’s least favourite kind of evening. |
👕 Why Group A1 Is Good News for Your Closet
This group happens to contain four of the most wearable shirts in international football. France and Belgium are modern classics; Italy is genuinely timeless — the Azzurri shirt has looked essentially the same for fifty years and it still works. Turkey is the one people don’t expect, which is exactly why it stands out.
If you’re building a collection rather than buying one shirt, these four cover every silhouette going: deep blue, bright red, pale blue, white with red trim. Nothing repeats.
Custom name and number is available across all of them via the custom soccer range.
