Some footballers have taken to the field during the World Cup matches with some strange masks that resemble that of the musical Phantom of the Opera.
Masks are easily confused with any fashion style, but in fact it is not. They are high-tech protective equipment.

The masks are made from materials such as polycarbonate and protect athletes who have suffered facial injuries, ensuring they can play without risking further injury.

Some are 3D printed to fit their face exactly.
