Maccabi Tel Aviv will wear shirts with a tribute to the late Johan Cruyff in their next Israeli football league game against Hapoel Raanana on Sunday, the club said on Friday.

Sources in the club, in which Dutch legend Cruyff's son, Jordi is the sporting director, said the players will wear shirts with the number 14 and the name of the former superstar and Barcelona head coach on the front, as well as black bands for mourning, reports Efe.

This shirt is also for sale for 39 euros ($44.5), with the money raised going to the Johann Cruyff Foundation for children with special needs and underprivileged populations.
