Messi's World Cup Jerseys Expected to Break Auction Records

The six jerseys, worn during Argentina's victorious 2022 World Cup campaign, could become the most valuable sports memorabilia ever sold at auction.

Lionel Messi's six jerseys from the 2022 World Cup are set to be auctioned by Sotheby's, with bids expected to exceed $10 million.
The jerseys were worn by Messi during each stage of the tournament, including the final against France, which Argentina won.
If the bids reach the expected amount, it would surpass the current record for the most valuable item of sports memorabilia ever sold at auction, held by a jersey worn by Michael Jordan during the 1998 NBA Final.
The auction will run from November 30 to December 14 and the jerseys will be displayed at a free exhibition at Sotheby's gallery in New York.
A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the UNICAS Project, led by Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children's Hospital, to support children suffering from rare diseases.
