THERE has been a major blunder at Euro 2024 as the wrong badge has been printed on Ukraine's shirts.

The Ukrainians are set to face Romania later today but could be wearing an inappropriate shirt due to the gaffe.

The team's blue shirt for the match is supposed to have the two nation's flags printed on the centre.

The Ukraine flag has been successfully printed but Romania's has not been so lucky.

The Romanian flag has not been printed on the shirt at all in fact, as the Belgium flag has been printed instead.

There is some similarity between the two flags as they both have yellow and red stripes.

Both flags have a third stripe - Romania's is blue, but Belgium's is black.

The third stripe is too dark to be the Romanian flag and looks much more like a Belgium flag, as fans have pointed out on social media.

One posted: "Someone at the Ukrainian FA has printed the Belgium flag on the team’s shirts for today’s game in Munich.

"The only problem being that Ukraine are playing Romania today."

The Group E fixture is set to kick off at 2pm, which means there is not a lot of time for the issue to be fixed.

Belgium are also in the group and face Slovakia in their first match of the tournament at 5pm.

The day's action will be completed by the Group D fixture between France and Austria.
