Captain’s Armband (Football)
The captain’s armband is a distinctive band worn on the upper arm of a football team’s captain during matches. It serves as a visible symbol of leadership, responsibility, and authority on the field. The armband helps referees, teammates, and spectators easily identify the captain, who is often the link between the players and match officials.
Traditionally designed in bold and contrasting colors, the band often carries the word “CAPTAIN” printed across it for clear recognition. It is usually made from elastic or adjustable fabric to ensure comfort and a secure fit throughout intense gameplay. Beyond its practical role, the captain’s armband represents pride, honor, and the trust placed in a player to lead their team both on and off the pitch.
