The 10 most expensive football shirts ever auctioned on MatchWornShirt Until now...

The appeal of a football shirt is timeless. Designs and patterns may change, but what never changes is what the shirt represents: a team. This makes the shirt a symbol of belonging. This is why we are attracted to them and always want to own one. This desire is now reaching new frontiers, particularly since it has become easier to purchase a match-worn jersey.

MatchWornShirt is the leading company in the match-worn shirt industry. Founded by brothers Bob and Tijmen Zonderwijk in 2017, the company now works with over 300 football teams and holds auctions for thousands of match-worn shirts every season, creating the largest community of collectors. Between 2023 and 2025 alone, for Serie A matches, there were over 45,000 bids from 102 different countries. The record-breaking shirt was worn by Scott McTominay in May 2025 against Cagliari — he scored one of the two goals that secured Antonio Conte’s team the Scudetto. Final sale price: €24,006. Even that eye-watering figure barely scratches the surface of the Top 10 most expensive shirts ever auctioned by MatchWornShirt.

First place is held by Cristiano Ronaldo and the jersey he wore in Portugal–Hungary played last October: the auction price was €62,606. Ronaldo appears in the Top 10 with two other shirts from his second stint at Manchester United, while Lionel Messi’s name appears four times, all tied to his time with PSG. Rounding out the list are Son Heung-min, Marquinhos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and their respective shirts used in the Europa League final and the Champions League final.
