Macau





Leong Lap San (Polícia)
Macau vs. Pakistan (2:2) | AFC Challenge Cup 2006 in Bangladesh
I got this great shirt (and shorts) of the little Macau from Daniel Delgado de Sousa, who works for the Macau FA. I really have to thank him a lot here ! I really appreciate your help Daniel !
As Mr de Sousa was (or is) in Belgium right now it was easy for him to send me the shirt now. He send it to me as a gift and I am really really happy with it.
I did not expect it to come with shorts and BNWT and was really surprised.

Fernando de Noronha







Fernando de Noronha | 2011 during tour to Natal

Today I got a new non-FIFA shirt and two little gifts from Brazil ! The small group of Island "Fernando de Noronha" are situated off the Brazilian coast. Their Football Association is very young and they joined the CSANF, which is an South American equivalent, and partner, of the NF-Board.
I love the shirt design as the colour combination seems somehow unique to me. I am really thankful to Thiago F. Monteiro who sent me this matchworn shirt from a match on 30.4.2011.
Thanks mate !

Gabon





Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Saint Etienne / France)
Gabon vs. Mali (2:2, 4:5 pen) | AFCON 2012  in Gabon

I already had an Gabon shirt, but I just love the new design of the 2012 CAN shirt of the team ! Besides I now have both shirts of the hosts of the tournament. I found this one pretty cheap on ebay for just 22€+3€ of shipment. So I had to grab it this time.
The picture of the team is the only one I saw were you can see the panther on the shirt. It seems that it somehow vanishes when the players start to sweat a bit...
As I have a little panther at home and she was very interested in the new panther coming to my wardrobe she decided to be part of the picture. She posed a bit for me and asked me to make a star of her :D
So I had to put this picture online for her. So:
Representing Gabon: Les pantherés !

Afghanistan





Afghanistan vs. Maldives (women / 1:1) | SAFF Cup 2012 in Sri Lanka

I am sure most of you know this Afghanistan shirt from the Danish brand Hummel. For now I am still not sure if this shirt has been worn by the male team. Obviously it was worn by the women national team at least. For now I am pretty happy to have this shirt for a good price finally (35 Euro).

Armenia





Armenia vs. Estonia (0:1) | WC 2010 Qualfiiers | 2009 in Estonia

Thanks a lot to Gregorio ! I like the Hummel shirts in general as they are classic and beautiful at the same time. I am happy that Gregorio from Belgium could help me here :) As far as I know he got the shirt from a Canadian seller.

Western Isles (Outer Hebrides)






This is my first official non-FIFA shirt ! I somehow really got addicted by all those tiny islands and regions all over the world that fight for presenting themselves in international football. So I sent out a couple of mails and I am in contact with a couple of non-FIFA FAs now. The Western Isles (or Outer Hebrides) FA was pretty nice and sent me this shirt including shorts and socks as a gift ! It is matchworn from the 2007 Island Games in Rhodes (Greece). I hope that many other non-FIFA shirts will follow soon, and I know they will already ;)

Colombia





Carlos Valdés (Independiente Santa Fé)
Colombia vs. Netherlands (0:0) | friendly 2013 in Netherlands

A big thanks to Mads again. He sent me over this shirt as a gift ! As far as I saw it was just worn by the women team in the 2011 World Cup here in Germany, but probably I just did not find the right picture so far. If someone does, please help me ;)
I would really wish to see Colombia with a new Valderrama again :D

Bahrain





Bahrain vs. Iran (0:6) | WC 2014 qualifiers | 2011 in Iran

I know it is getting boring, but thanks again go to Mads for his help. Quite an unspectacular shirt, but another important step to finish the aim. And I like the Arabic world a lot, so I am quite happy with it !

Burkina Faso





Charles Kaboré (Olympique Marseille / France)
Burkina Faso vs. Sudan (1:2) | AFCON 2012 in Equatorial Guinea

Thanks again to my friend Mads Jones. He again bought this shirt for me from prodirectsoccer and sent it over to me. I really love the new Puma Africa designs a lot. And so I like this shirt, too.Honestly I am not the biggest fan of the Burkinabe team, as they think they belong to the big players in Africa, which they never did in my eyes....
