NewzStarting this season – which kicks off on Friday when champions FC Bayern München host VfB Stuttgart (8.30pm CEST) - all players making their first appearance in a Bundesliga starting line-up will be honoured with the new Starting XI Debut Patch. The special patch will be worn on the player’s jersey during this unique career milestone and will subsequently become part of an exclusive, hand-signed Topps trading card. Millions dream of one day taking the field in a Bundesliga starting line-up.
For those who achieve that goal, the moment is truly unique and the Starting XI Debut Patch is designed to commemorate the occasion. Each player will receive the badge only once in their career, for their first Bundesliga start. Immediately after the match, the patch will be removed from the jersey and secured for further use.
