A set of six match-worn Lionel Messi shirts from the 2022 World Cup are to be auctioned in New York.
The shirts the Argentina captain wore in the first half of the final, semi-final, quarter-final, round-of-16 and two group-stage matches in Qatar as he won the World Cup for the first time are estimated to be worth over $10million (£8.02m) by Sotheby’s, the fine-art auction house presenting the collection.
They could set a record for the most expensive piece of match-worn sports memorabilia to be sold at an auction. The current holder is Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls jersey from.
