Founder
Fabio Gallo
Fabio Gallo has been a football shirt collector since 1996, when he was sixteen years old. Growing up in Brescia, in northern Italy, he built his passion around the shirts, stories, and people that define the game — and was fortunate enough to meet iconic players including Roberto Baggio, Luca Toni, Andrea Pirlo, Stefan Appiah, Alessandro Di Biagio, and many more.
After several years in California, Fabio moved to Barcelona, where his career in sport and digital business deepened alongside his love for collecting. He was appointed Digital Business Manager at Dorna Sports (now MotoGP), then led the digital business department at FC Barcelona — working closely with stars such as Leo Messi, Gerard Piqué, Ronaldinho, Juliano Belletti, Andrés Iniesta, Xavi Hernández, Pep Guardiola, Zlatan Ibrahimović, and many others.
Fabio later joined LaLiga as Chief Product Officer, leading product strategy for LaLiga Tech, the joint venture with Globant. Today he is the owner of Memorabilia Match Worn and CEO of technology companies including VSN and Woody.
Fabio founded Memorabilia Match Worn because he believes collectors should be able to purchase pieces from exceptional collections with complete safety and a 100% guarantee — backed by clear authentication, provenance, and a buying experience worthy of the items themselves.
Our approach
Every listing includes a unique reference code, detailed condition notes, and clear information about what is documented — including certificate of authenticity details where applicable. We believe transparency builds trust in football memorabilia.
Our customers are serious collectors, investors, and enthusiasts who value authenticated items with verifiable history. Whether you are building a club-focused collection or acquiring a single iconic shirt, we provide the documentation and service you expect.
Authentication Partners
Verified by the best in the business
Every shirt listed on Memorabilia Match Worn is authenticated in collaboration with Authentiquea, specialists in football shirt authentication and provenance verification. Authentiquea's expertise ensures each item meets the highest standards before it reaches a collector.
We are proud to work alongside the official foundations of some of football's greatest clubs, including Fundació FC Barcelona and Fundación Real Madrid, as well as foundations and charitable organisations from many more clubs around the world. These partnerships give us direct access to historically significant shirts and reinforce the integrity of every provenance claim we make.
When you buy from Memorabilia Match Worn, you are not just purchasing a shirt — you are acquiring a piece of football history, verified by people with first-hand connections to the clubs and players who made it.
