In the absence of Harry Kane and Kyle Walker, the Arsenal midfielder was given the captain’s insignia against Belgium, commemorating his fiftyth for the Three Lions in a unique fashion. Furthermore, adidas has collaborated with former Chelsea and England player Lampard to further commemorate the event by designing a custom footwear for Rice to don during the friendly at Wembley Stadium.

The adidas Copa footwear is designed in the national colors of the player’s country—red, white, and blue. This embellishment is complemented by an embroidered ’50 caps’ message on the side and the national emblem situated across the boot’s soleplate. Lampard, a Three Lions legend with 106 international appearances, was present to deliver the one-of-a-kind boots and speak with Rice about his accomplishment.

Lampard remarked regarding Rice’s 50 caps: “Declan shouldn’t undervalue this accomplishment; every young football fanacionista dreams of representing their nation, so to reach 50 caps is truly remarkable.” “As this young team approaches the Euros, I am eager to see what the summer holds for him and the group as a whole.”

Additionally, Rice understood the importance of amassing fifty international appearances by the age of twenty-five. Furthermore, reaching this milestone is an enormous accomplishment in my opinion. Those who are close to me are aware of the significance of serving my country, so earning fifty crowns is an accomplishment. Celebrating the occasion by donning my brand-new footwear on the field fills me with great enthusiasm.

The defender withdrew from consideration for Gareth Southgate’s March friendlies. However, Rice intends to attempt to convince his club teammate otherwise.
