WHY IS THE NUMBER 10 SHIRT SO SIGNIFICANT IN SOCCER?



Chelsea was one of the first teams to wear numbered shirts in football all together, way back in 1928. However, you might be surprised to know that it was as recent as 1993 when soccer shirt numbers started getting assigned to players rather than being based on positions. Before 1993, No. 10 was typically worn by forwards, specifically advanced midfielders up top. Players in these positions usually were some of the all-around best and most creative offensive players on the team. So, when the traditional numerical system ended, the aura around the number 10 shirt continued. It became a trend for teams across the globe to reserve that kit number for their best player.

From the English Premier League to the World Cup, it has inspired brilliant performances and been worn with a deep sense of pride due to its legendary history. In no particular order, here are just a few of the all-time greats who have donned the number 10 shirt:

With Willan’s departure, the number 10 shirt for Chelsea is currently vacant. There are some worthy contenders to be the tenth player to wear No. 10 at Chelsea, starting in the 2020/21 season and hopefully beyond.

Many American Chelsea fans are rooting for Christian Pulisic to get the honor. Pulisic wore the number 10 shirt on the international stage for the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT). However, he has never worn the number 10 shirt at Chelsea. Fans hope it’s a good omen that he currently has Willian’s previous number 22 shirt.
