Belgium 2022 Home Shirt - Doku No.25 (M)

📐 Flat measurements

Lay flat a shirt that already fits you well, measure it the same way and compare — vintage sizing is often very different from new.

No flaws. The red is still deep and even, with no faded patches and no discolouration under the arms. The yellow DOKU No.25 nameset is perfect: the letters and digits have kept their honeycomb perforated texture, with no cracking and no lifting corners. The embroidered Belgian FA crest is flawless, crown included, and both sleeve patches (Nations League and UEFA Foundation) are firmly attached. The black shoulder panels and side stripes show no wear, and the sleeve « flame » print is crisp. No odour, washed and inspected in my workshop.

Unsure about sizing? This Adidas M is true to size (52 x 74 cm), a fan cut with a little room: compare the flat measurements above, or read my sizing guide.

✦ Authenticity guaranteed for life

Item checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If anything you buy from me is ever identified as a unofficial, I refund it in full. The guarantee never expires.

• Original Adidas label photographed (photo 4): production date 06/22, product reference HD9412 and internal code AV1008. That three-line layout is exactly how Adidas labelled 2022 shirts, and the June 2022 date matches the Nations League campaign production run
• The nameset is perforated, not solid (photo 5): the digits are covered in tiny honeycomb holes for heat release. That is the signature of the official 2022 Adidas nameset — unofficial pieces print a flat block of yellow
• Raised embroidered crest with a separate crown (photo 3): the Royal Belgian FA shield is embroidered thread by thread, the crown independently above it, and the laurel branches in fine stitching. On a unofficial the whole thing is a single heat-pressed patch
• Both sleeve patches are stitched, not glued (photos 1 and 2): the multicoloured Nations League badge and the UEFA Foundation for Children badge are overlocked in place, exactly as on the shirts issued to the squads
• Real photos of the exact shirt you receive, never stock images — full method in my authentication guide

📖 Doku, the dribbler who took over from the golden generation

This shirt captures the handover. Belgium's golden generation was playing its last campaign, and the baton was passing to the young ones — starting with the most explosive winger on the continent.

⚡ The Portugal game, Euro 2020. At 19, Doku tormented the Portuguese defence in the round of 16 and walked off as man of the match. The night that turned him from prospect into a Belgium starter.

🎯 Made at Anderlecht, revealed at Rennes. A professional at 16 with RSCA, sold to Stade Rennais in 2020 for one of the biggest fees in the club's history, then signed by Manchester City in 2023.

🏆 The golden generation, world No.1 for four years. From September 2018 to March 2022, Belgium sat top of the FIFA ranking almost without interruption. This shirt belongs to the very end of that run.

🎨 Deep red and black shoulders — Adidas put Belgian red back at the centre, framed with black at the shoulders and sides, with yellow reserved for the number and the nameset. The sleeves carry a toned-down version of the « flame » motif FIFA had rejected on the Tomorrowland-inspired away kit.
