GUINEA BISSAU 2011 - LACATONI - HOME SHIRT

My third Guinea Bissau jersey!! This shirt was worn by defender Bruno Fernandes, probably during the World Cup 2014 preliminary round vs Togo. Another rarity becomes part of the collection!

Another great jersey, coming straight from Euro 2016 qualifying matches. This is the Lithuanian shirt worn by Mantas Kuklys in his eighth cap with the team. He come from the bench in the final minutes of the game vs San Marino, played on 8th September 2014.

LATVIA 2014/15 - ADIDAS - HOME SHIRT

Another Latvian shirt, this time is the most recent model. Shirt gifted by Vladislavs Gabovs during the match vs Turkey, played on 13th October 2014 in Riga. Latvia managed to obtain an historic draw.
In May 2016 I had the pleasure to meet and dine with Vladislavs. Latvian national: he was on vacation in Italy and decided to spend two days in Livorno to know the city and meet me. We had dinner together after him during the day had traveled far and wide the city and was fascinated by Livorno. Of course I could not fail to offer him Cacciucco & ponce! :-D :-D Thanks Vladislavs, I hope to soon reply visiting Riga! And thanks to the passion for football, that allows to realize these unforgettable experiences!

Uzbekistan (2)

UZBEKISTAN 2014 - JOMA - AWAY SHIRT

One of the best shirt of my collection. Worn and gifted by one of my favorite players, Server Djeparov (Asian player of the year in 2008 and 2011), has made it even signed by the whole team during the recent friendlies played in Dubai in October 2014. I am thinking about framing it!




Tanzania

TANZANIA 2010/13 - UHLSPORT - HOME SHIRT

It was extremely hard to find a legit shirt of the Tanzania national team, because there are a lot of fake Adidas replica around. So I decided to search for an Uhlsport jersey, and was lucky enough to get one directly from the german company (anyway, it was a little expensive :-P). Another tick in CAF!

Italy (2)

ITALY 2014/15 - PUMA - HOME SHIRT
