INDIA 2008/10 - HOME SHIRT - NIKE

Nice India shirt (at least some new design for a football shirt), far better than the cheap 2000' Sapphire jersey I had previously!





North Korea (2)

NORTH KOREA 2012/14 - HOME SHIRT - LEGEA

I always thought that if I could somehow get from a player a North Korea shirt, I would have shown myself to be able to get any shirt in the world. Well, in the end I did it really. Through a careful intelligence work, I managed to get in touch with Pak Kwang-Ryong, North Korean striker playing since several years in Switzerland. After his last trip home to play a World Cup qualifiers game, he brang back this shirt and sent to me. After 1 month waiting due to custom problems, this beauty is finally in its new home!





Georgia (2)

GEORGIA 20014/15 - HOME SHIRT - ADIDAS

Even there, that's my second Georgia shirt. I have another one but pretty old, so I wanted to add a new one. I was lucky enough to know Giorgi Merebashvili, georgian player actually in Greek team PAE Veroia. After we started talking, he was called back with national team after 4 years since last match with the Jvarosnebi. He got his shirt (bench worn) after the game with Germany (11 october 2015) and gave it to his italian agent, Gianluca Marini, who did his great part in providing finally the shirt to its destination! Thank you both Giorgi and Gianluca!





Tunisia (2)

TUNISIA 2015 - AWAY SHIRT - BURRDA

Considering that I was unsure about my previous Tunisia jersey, I decided to go for another one. I found a great willingness in Selim Ben Djemia, actually playing for CS Sfaxien but with a part of his career spent here in Italy (Genoa, Padova and Frosinone). He got many calls recently, and after last one for WC qualifiers vs Mauritania, he got his shirt and sent to me. Moreover, this shirt is fantastic. Not only the template, but it's my first shirt with WC 2018 badges! Many thanks Selim!!





United Arab Emirates (2)

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES 2007/08 - HOME SHIRT - ADIDAS

Another unique piece that is in addition to my collection. A match worn UAE shirt , used during 2007 Gulf Cup tournament. A sincere thanks to Lars Gansäuer, who works for the federation, and the kitman who helped him getting the shirt.





Tajikistan (2)

TAJIKISTAN 2014/15 - AWAY SHIRT - LI-NING

This awesome and extremely rare shirt comes directly from Tajikistan, thanks to the help of my friend Ulugbek Karimov, who works for Football Federation. The shirt should be worn in official match by player Jahongir Ergashev, for what Ulugbek remember. Anyway, it's a nice souvenir from the country of Ismoil Somoni, the first Tajik king that you could see represented in the badge.
