Why do soccer players wear masks?
Briefly

Soccer players wear masks to protect their faces from an injury that has not yet healed. A mask guards the eyes, nose, and cheeks from risky challenges or errant elbows that could aggravate a recently broken or fragile area.
Instead of sitting on the bench for multiple games, waiting for a broken nose to fully heal, a player can still join their teammates on the pitch...just with an extra accessory. In fact, a player who gets injured mid-game can retreat to the sideline, receive medical attention, put on a mask, and return to the pitch just minutes later without getting subbed off.
