The Night France and Brazil wore kits from the early 1900s to mark FIFA's centenary anniversary on 20 May 2004 at the Stade de France, leading by superstars like Ronaldo, Zidane, Carlos, Ronaldinho, Henry, Kaka, Viera and so many others ..

Disclaimer, i bought all the matches and made the video all by myself including this one.

France and Brazil were selected as the two nations to spar in FIFA’s centenary match .. FIFA was founded in 1904, although the first international game took place between England and Scotland 32 years earlier. But, as World Cup holders and European champions, it was Brazil and France who had the honor of bowing down at the alter of Sepp Blatter.
boasted a healthy dose of 1998 World Cup winners- think like Zinedine Zidane, Lilian Thuram, Desailly, Patrick Vieira Robert Pires and Thierry Henry- mixed with Makelele , Wiltord Jean-Alain Boumsong, Trezeguet and Olivier Kapo,
Les Bleus’ ensemble consisted of blue collared shirts, long cream shorts, red socks and a belt.
Think Tesco’s shelve stacker meets dad on a rugby tour in the south of France.
The kit paid homage to France’s first kit, worn in a 3-3 draw with Belgium on 1 May 1904.
Brazil’s side was no less star-studded.
Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Edmilson and Ze Roberto were the standout inclusions while Juninho Pernambucano’s ability to score free-kicks from anywhere on the pitch brought intrigue.
Their main task was making a white shirt with a lace-up collar- a nod to Brazil’s first game in 1914- look stylish.
A tough ask, even if you’ve got Ronaldo’s magical feet up front.
The game kicked off in front of a stadium-record 79,344 spectators at the Stade de France with a replica ball from 1904 looking surprisingly at home in the centre circle.
The festival of fashion concluded when Brazil and France came out in their modern kits for the second half.

France (4-4-2): Coupet; Thuram, Boumsong, Desailly (Mendy, h-t), Gallas; Pires (Wiltord, h-t), Vieira, Makelele, Zidane (Kapo, 71); Trezeguet, Henry.
