The Argentina jerseys worn by Lionel Messi at the World Cup in Qatar are being auctioned for an amount that almost breaks Jordan’s world record.

Lionel Messi’s jerseys from the World Cup in Qatar, which Argentina won, are to be auctioned – including the jersey with which he played in the final against France. Estimates suggest that the final jersey, along with the others, will fetch and perhaps even exceed the incredible sum of around 9.1 million euros.

This means the Argentine star is just one breath away from breaking Michael Jornan’s current world record. In particular, the NBA legend’s jersey from the Chicago Bulls’ first game in the 1998 final of the competition was sold for 9.2 million euros.

THE The auction will take place in New York and people will have the chance to see Messi’s jerseys up close before they are sold.

These are the jerseys from the first leg of the final, the semi-final against Croatia, the quarter-final against the Netherlands, the round of 16 against Australia and two of the three group stage games.

This should also be taken into account part of the proceeds goes to charity.

Messi’s highest-paid shirt to date, which sold for around 410,000 euros, was Barcelona’s from the 2017 Clasico with Real at the Bernabeu.

Women’s football claims its rightful place in world sport. However, the road is not paved with rose petals, as research by the Women’s International Football Association (FIFPRO) shows.

The results from the International Association of Women Footballers were particularly worrying. In particular, FIFPRO conducted a survey among the players who took part in the Women’s World Cup 2023, which was completed in August.

260 soccer players from 26 teams from the 32 participants in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand took part in the sample. However, the evidence that has now emerged is raising alarm bells among senior officials at both FIFA and UEFA.

The 53% of respondents did not have enough rest before the start of the World Cup. The 60% felt that the rest time given to them after the end of the tournament was not enough and the 86% said they had less than two weeks before returning to their clubs.

THE FIFPRO pointed out that despite record-breaking attendance and viewership at World Cup matches, many players still lack adequate financial compensation.

One in three earns less than $30,000 per year from their football activities and one in five supplement their income with a second job.

At the same time it is 10% has not undergone a medical examination before the event FIFPRO to also express concern that the 22% You have not undergone an electrocardiogram. Test required by FIFA tournament regulations.

Argentina reached the semi-finals of the U17 World Cup, defeating Brazil 3-0 with Claudio Etcheverry as the star.

The new big star of Argentine football scored all three of his team’s goals, sealing Argentina’s first win against Brazil at the U17 World Cup!

The game was a duel between Etceveri and Estevao, the two great talents expected to dominate world football in the coming years.

The Brazilian superstar also had a good moment in the game to open the scoring, but “Diablito” was the one who made a real appearance.

In the 28th minute he opened the scoring with a counterattacked shot and changed direction. In the 58th minute he managed a terrible slalom between the Brazilian defenders, while in the 71st minute he went solo against the opposing goalkeeper and went past him, completing the hat-trick.
