Description

Away shirt worn by China during their 2002–2004 international period.

The shirt is built on a white base with deep red trim, using the same shoulder stripe and V neck collar styling as the home version but flipped in colourway for a fresh, contrasting change kit. The wide cuffs and mesh side panels carry over from the home design, while the tournament emblem again features on the sleeve, tying it directly to the 2002 FIFA World Cup campaign. The elegant white and red combination made it a fitting change strip for a squad stepping onto football's biggest stage for the first time.

Like its home counterpart, this shirt is closely tied to Chinese football's most significant achievement: qualifying for and appearing at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan, the nation's first and still only World Cup finals appearance. Under coach Bora Milutinović, China navigated a difficult Group C containing Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica, and although the side were eliminated without scoring a goal or picking up a point, the achievement of reaching the tournament remained a landmark moment for the sport in China and a source of enormous national pride.

A white away shirt with red trim, worn by China as a change kit during their historic 2002 FIFA World Cup campaign, the nation's only appearance at football's biggest tournament.

Washing Instructions

Care Instructions To keep your shirt looking its best for years to come, please follow these guidelines carefully.
🌡️ Temperature
Wash at 30°C maximum. Higher temperatures can damage the fabric, fade colours, and crack printed lettering.
🔄 Cycle
Use a gentle or delicate cycle only. Avoid heavy spin cycles which can distort the shirt shape.
👕 Inside Out
Always turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the back print, badges, and any embroidery.
🧴 Detergent
Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners as these can degrade print quality.
💨 Drying
Air dry only — lay flat or hang away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry as heat will shrink fabric and damage prints.
🔥 Ironing
Do not iron directly over printed areas or badges. If needed, iron on the reverse side only using a low heat setting.
Do not dry clean. Do not wring or twist. Wash separately from items with zips or rough textures that could snag the fabric.
⚠️ Back Print & Badge Care Printed names, numbers, and woven badges are particularly sensitive to heat and abrasion. Always wash inside out, never iron over them directly, and avoid contact with rough surfaces during washing.
