Lewandowski will carry armband in colours of a different country than Poland at 2022 World Cup: explained

Robert Lewandowski will carry an armband in Ukraine's colours at the 2022 World Cup.

"Thank you @jksheva7 [Andriy Shevchenko, Ukraine and AC Milan legend]. It was a pleasure to meet you! It will be an honour for me to carry this captains armband in the colors of Ukraine to the World Cup," the Pole has tweeted.

Lewandowski has spoken out against the war several times already, also auctioning off his signed Poland jersey to support the neighbouring country.

Russia is still destroying Ukrainian cities and killing civilians including kids with all the weapons imaginable. We strongly condemn Putin’s genocide and acts of terror against Ukraine.
