What is MatchWornShirt?
MatchWornShirt is one of the biggest names in sports memorabilia. Partnered with more than 300 teams worldwide, the company gives fans access to an incredible range of unique sports memorabilia, ranging from the shirts worn in football, rugby and cricket matches to the jerseys, bicycles and helmets of top cyclists competing in Grand Tours, and much more.
How did MatchWornShirt start?
In 2017, when brothers Tijmen and Bob Zonderwijk were preparing for their father’s birthday, it didn’t take long for them to realise what the ideal gift would be: a football shirt worn on the pitch by his favourite player. Quickly, however, the brothers discovered how difficult it was to get their hands on this gift. Out of the experience came the idea for MatchWornShirt: giving football fans the chance to own the match-worn & signed shirts of their favourite players, straight from the pitch, with a significant portion of proceeds raised going to support charities and foundations associated with the clubs.
How can I own a match-worn and signed Spurs shirt?
The moment that a match kicks off, an auction goes live on MatchWornShirt’s website and app for the shirts of a partnered team’s entire starting squad. That’s right: you can actually start bidding on a shirt while it’s still being worn by the player! Once the match has finished, the shirts are signed by the players and transferred to the MatchWornShirt office, where they are sanitised in a UV-C machine and undergo a thorough authentication process. Next? You place the winning bid and the auction comes to an end. No matter where you live, your shirt will now be shipped to your home as quickly and efficiently as possible.
What Spurs matches can I get my favourite player’s shirt from?
All of them! Not only Premier League matches, but every match taking place in a domestic and international tournament. From the FA Cup to the UEFA Europa League, there are some seriously unmissable opportunities coming your way throughout the new season!
How do I know my shirt is genuine?
Every Spurs shirt auctioned on MatchWornShirt goes through a rigorous authentication process and is equipped with Fabricks. Powered by an NFC chip, this cutting-edge technology enables you to personally verify your shirt’s origin and identity by unlocking a digital certificate of authenticity. By guaranteeing your shirt’s authenticity, Fabricks permanently protects its identity as a unique and irreplaceable piece of sports memorabilia.
Where does the money go?
Charitable work is and has always been integral to MatchWornShirt. In this case, that’s the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, the Club’s official charitable body inspiring and empowering thousands of people in North London through programmes spanning football and multi-sports, health and wellbeing, employability and education. Through their partnership with Spurs, MatchWornShirt is committed to allocating a considerable amount of the money raised by selected Spurs auctions to this foundation.
