Singapore





Singapore celebrating their Tiger Cup victory 2004 in Singapore
Thanks a lot to my friend Matthew Chua from Singapore ! He sorted out this old Tiger shirt for me. I swapped it with the Suriname keeper shirt (that is still on my blog). I am really happy to get this shirt as it has an odd manufacturer again.

Saudi Arabia





Sa'ud Kariri (Al-Ittihad FC)
Saudi Arabia vs. Portugal (0:3) | friendly match 2006

Again this shirt came from ebay. It cost only 7€ and the shipment was free. I think it was that cheap because it was sold as "Algeria original Puma shirt". Of course it is not an Algeria shirt, but Saudi-Arabia as you can see on the picture above.
I quite like the Puma designs from 2006/2007 with those shaded background pictures. So I always wanted to get this Saudi-Arabia shirt (as all other shirts are very boring).


Iran





Ali Daei (Saba Battery Teheran)
Iran vs. Costa Rica (3:2) | friendly 2006 in Iran

I bought this Iran shirt on ebay for about 2,50€ + 2,40€ for shipment. That is also the main reason why I bought this shirt now. It was just damn cheap and so I had to grab this missing shirt in my collection. Besides it has a "Mahdavikia" and Mehdi Mahdavikia is probably one of the best known Iranian players. He played for Bochum, Frankfurt and an unimportant club from Hamburg (as a St.Pauli-fan I cannot publish its name ;) ).
The design is quite simple, but the manufacturer is pretty special. I have never seen it before and I am not sure if they ever did any other shirt before.
