FAQ
What is a match-issued or player-issue football shirt?
A match-issued (also called player-issue) shirt is one that was prepared specifically for a professional player ahead of a match — printed with their name and number, fitted to their size, and produced to the same specification as the shirts worn on the pitch. It may or may not have been worn during the match, which is always stated transparently in each listing.
What is the difference between match-worn and match-issued?
A match-worn shirt was physically worn by a player during an official match. A match-issued shirt was prepared for match use and carries the full match specification but may not have been worn. Match-worn shirts typically carry a premium due to direct game contact, while match-issued shirts are often in better condition and still represent a direct, documented connection to a specific fixture.
Do match-issued shirts come with documentation?
Yes — each listing describes the available documentation, which may include a certificate of authenticity, letter of provenance, photographic evidence, or direct club/player sourcing. We are transparent about every item's documented status.
Do you ship player-issue shirts internationally?
Yes. All orders ship worldwide free of charge, fully tracked and insured. Items are professionally packaged to preserve their condition.
