According to Swedish media reports, Swedish international Alexander Isak has the Eritrean flag printed on his boots.
Isak's right boot features the Eritrean flag, while his left boot displays the Swedish flag.
Isak has always identified strongly with his Eritrean heritage and has maintained close ties with his homeland. He has also visited Asmara, the capital of Eritrea.
According to available information, Isak was born in Solna, Sweden, in 1999, but both of his parents were refugees from Eritrea. His parents immigrated to Sweden to escape the conflict during the Eritrean Civil War in the 1980s.
