''millones de españoles que no vean ni un solo partido al año o no sepan recitar una alineación.''
I understand that in a football context, it refers to when the players are introduced to the public and they stand in a line with their team, but how do I express this in English? Is there a specific English term?

name a line-up
Ronaldo and Casemiro in - Man United fans name the line-up they want to see vs Southampton
Man United take on Southampton in the Premier League and the fans have had their say on who they want to play.

As I mentioned in the reference box, I'm not a football expert but I think that in this case, 'name' is a reasonable translation for 'recitar'.
to say the name of somebody/something
SYNONYM identify
name somebody/something The victim has not yet been named.
He refused to name his accomplice.
**Can you name all the American states?**
**The manager has named his side for the semi-final.**

Thank you, Taña. I thought 'name a line-up' was fine but I didn't want to upset any football fans!
