A real treat for jersey collectors and all fans of the popular Croatia national team shirts.
A humanitarian auction will start at www.matchwornshirt.com, where the Croatia national team jerseys from the 2022 World Cup qualifier against Slovakia in Osijek will be on offer, announced HNS.
The tradition continues after the Croatia national football team became the first in the world to donate the jerseys from one competitive match (Croatia – Hungary, Euro 2020 qualifiers) to an online auction for humanitarian purposes, raising more than 30,000 euros for the Vatreno Srce Foundation, and did the same in one big competition (Croatia – Spain, Round of 16 of Euro 2020).
All Croatia national team players who will play against Slovakia will give away their jerseys for this auction, and their starting price will be 89 euros. The Vatreno Srce Foundation was founded and run by Croatia national team members and coaches. For years, they have been helping children and young people, such as donations to the Clinic for Children’s Diseases and the Step into Life campaign.
The auction, which will offer Croatia match-worn shirts from the match against Slovakia, will begin with the first referee’s whistle and will end on October 24 at 4 pm CET. All jerseys were professionally disinfected by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which means that all possible traces of viruses, bacteria, and DNA material were removed. Still, all other elements of the worn jersey were preserved, including embroidered Croatian and opponent’s flags and the date of the match on the front of the jersey.
Join the auction at www.matchwornshirt.com/club/croatia, support the work of the Vatreno Srce Foundation and treat yourself or your loved ones to something they’ll remember for a lifetime!
Recall, Croatia and Slovakia meet on Monday at 20:45 at City Garden Stadium in Osijek. This is Croatia’s second qualifier in October after beating Cyprus 3:0 away on Friday last week.
