What is a diaspora shirt and why is it so popular?
A diaspora shirt is the shirt of the country where you, your parents or your grandparents come from, worn far beyond the national borders. The Netherlands and Belgium are home to large communities with roots all over the world, and during a World Cup that pride comes out. A shirt is then more than clothing: it is a way to show where you come from.
Which diaspora shirts are most popular this World Cup?
At the top, as ever, is Morocco, followed by surprisingly strong demand for Iraq and debutant Uzbekistan. Ghana, Senegal, Tunisia, Cape Verde, Turkey and Curaçao are also beloved in the Dutch and Belgian stands.
Why do you wear the shirt of your roots?
For many supporters the World Cup is the moment to celebrate the connection with their heritage. You wear the shirt not because the country is a title favourite, but because it tells your story. That is what makes a diaspora shirt special: it is personal, and it stands out among all the orange and the shirts of the big nations.
