How it works
The most common question we’re asked is: “How does MatchWornShirt work?”
The answer is simple: We partner directly and exclusively with over 400 football clubs to put match-worn and signed shirts in the hands of fans via our online auction platform.
We work closely with kit managers, who collect the shirts in the dressing room after the game, make sure they're signed by the players, and send them to our offices for final authentication. Then we deliver these pieces of club history to fans and collectors worldwide!
Jersey images uploaded
Before the auction closes, the digital mock-ups uploaded at kickoff are replaced with high-definition images of the match-worn jerseys, so you can see the all-important signatures and other unique details.
The winning bid
If you're the highest bidder when the auction ends, the jersey is yours!
Shipped to you
We carefully prepare your jersey, and it ships within 1-2 business days. Once it arrives, a unique piece of soccer history is in your hands.
Ricky Dowling, Head of Kit & Equipment at Chelsea
“We understand just how important it is for our fans, when bidding on their favorite players' jerseys, to be able to trust that the product they receive is genuine. We take care to ensure that the jerseys we supply to our partner MatchWornShirt are exactly as described. We physically collect the jerseys directly from the players, separate them from all other inventory, have them hand-signed, and then supply them directly to MatchWornShirt.”
Martijn van den Buijs, Head of Kit & Equipment at PSV
“I personally handle the collection and preparation of match-worn jerseys to ensure their authenticity. During games, I am in the locker room at halftime to collect the jerseys from the first half. In 90% of cases, this process goes smoothly. However, sometimes I almost have to take the jersey off the player myself to make sure they change at halftime. After the break, I gather all the jerseys that need to be signed and take the necessary steps to make the signing process as efficient as possible before they are swiftly sent to MatchWornShirt.”
Hakan Sjoberg, Equipment Manager at AIK
“My colleague and I go to each and every player to get their specific jersey signed. The players are well aware of the importance of signing it professionally, and we oversee every step of the process. Working with MWS is truly fun and exciting; it feels like we’re all one team. They’ve taken the time to visit us, genuinely engaging with our work and showing real commitment to working closely together so we can get the jerseys to fans in the best possible way.”
