Posted on December 14, 2023 By armanzafar887@gmail.com

In a spectacular showcase of football memorabilia, six iconic Lionel Messi World Cup Jerseys worn during the 2022 FIFA World Cup have fetched a remarkable €7 million at a recent Sotheby’s auction in New York. The Argentine maestro celebrated as a national hero, led his team to a historic World Cup victory just a year ago, triumphing over France in a final widely acclaimed as one of the greatest in the tournament’s history.

These sought-after jerseys hold significant value, having been worn by Messi in pivotal moments of the World Cup journey, including the final, semi-final, quarter-final, last-16 tie, and two gripping group stage encounters.

Notably, the €7 million sale falls just short of the record for the most expensive football jersey, which still belongs to Diego Maradona’s legendary jersey from the infamous ‘Hand of God’ match at the 1986 World Cup, sold for a staggering €8.2 million last year. Messi’s achievement on the field and the subsequent demand for his memorabilia reflect the enduring fascination with football’s iconic moments.

While the auction showcased six out of seven jerseys worn by Messi in the tournament, one notable omission was a shirt that had been exchanged with Heart of Midlothian’s Australian international, Cammy Devlin. This unique exchange adds an intriguing element to the collection’s narrative, highlighting the personal connections and exchanges that occur within the football community.

This initiative, spearheaded by Sant Joan de Deu Barcelona Children’s Hospital with the support of the Leo Messi Foundation, is dedicated to addressing the needs of children afflicted by rare diseases. The charitable aspect adds a philanthropic dimension to the auction, reflecting Messi’s commitment to making a positive impact beyond the football field.
