VIDEO: Croatia National Team First in World to Auction Worn Match Shirts Online

By 10 October 2019

October 10, 2019 - Ever dreamed of owning a shirt worn by a Croatia national team member?

Not only can this be a reality, but you could soon be in possession of a Croatia shirt worn by Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic, and other stars of the Croatia national team while supporting ahumanitarian cause! 

Namely, HNS announced on Wednesday that the Croatia national football team would be the first in the world to donate all worn jerseys from one competitive match to an online charity auction.

Thus,after the match against Hungary on Thursday, Modric, Rakitic, Perisic, Lovren, Vida, and other members of the 2018 World Cup finalist squad will auction the match shirts they wore online. All proceeds will go to the Vatreno Srce Foundation, which was founded by the Croatia national team and coach. 

For many years, the Vatreno Srce Foundation has helped Croatia’s children and youth. You might recall that last year, they donated significant funds to the Children's Clinic as part of the Korak u život campaign.

All shirts worn during the Hungary match will be available for bidding online at www.matchwornshirt.com. Bids can be submitted from the start of the match, and the auction will end after four days. All shirts will start at 89 euro, with shipping included anywhere in the world.

And even better? Each shirt will be marked 'Croatia-Hungary' and will be signed by the national team member who wore it!

Get in on the action at www.matchwornshirt.com, support the work of the Vatreno Srce Foundation, and treat yourself or your loved ones to a lifetime of memories. 

Croatia and Hungary will meet at Poljud stadium in Split on Thursday at 8:45 om local time for a crucial 2020 Euro qualifier.  It is the first time the national team has played in Split since 2015.
