Syria





Syria female vs. Palestine

I am so happy to announce that I will have all the rare Asian shirts so soon. This is definetly one of the rarest of the globe (and not only Asia). I found it on ebay.com and it was an absolutely bargain. I won an auction for 14,99€ + 19,96€ for shipment and did not only get this shirt (which was obviously used by ladies at least), but another one ! The other shirt will just be my next post above. This one is simple, not the most fance piece of shirt art, but rare as hell. So I am happy to tick another country off my list.

Australia






Australia vs. Qatar (3:1) | WC 2010 qualifiers | 2008, in Qatar

Dear Alex Savvides, thank you so much for that ! I really love it. That is the most amzing badge in the world. And of course I am happy to have another shirt of your country ! Besides, the price was absolutely hot ;)

Sao Tome and Principe




I am one of the happiest national team collectors on this planet today ! I just received a parcel from Sao Tome and Principe today ! It came from a good friends of the Sao Tome FA president and he just got some shirts for me. First we tried if he is trustable ordering one shirt for my good friend Nick who was willing to take the risk for this one. Well, he turned out to be absolutely trustful and sent a shirt to Nick (the same as the one above). Afterwards my friend Eric offered me to pay me a Sao Tome and Prinicpe if I get one for him. Well, so I ordered 2 more shirts from my contact and here they are ! For now I have no idea which one I'll keep and which of those will go to Eric in Canada. So I just decided to post pictures of both shirts.
The above shirt (the one with #3) is pretty old and probably from the 2006 Lusophony Games in Macau. We failed to find a picture proof yet, though.
The second shirt (below, number 15) is the current shirt of the team. A picture of the ceremony where the FA got them handed by Afribraz can be seen at the end of this post.
Both shirts are in poor condition and heavily used, but hey, they are matchworn. I do not really care about that.









Laos





Sopha Saysana (Nong Khai FC / Thailand)
Laos vs. Indonesia (2:2) | friendly 2012

Somehow I realized that I am nearly finished with Asia and thus I decided to work on Asian shirts again. I think the most hard to get shirts are already hanging in my wardrobe with Turkmenistan, Macau and Bhutan and thus I think there is a good chance to finish my first Continental Federation pretty easy and soon.
The first shirt I bought on this way is this great Laos shirt ! It came for just 23,02€ + 7,67€ for shipment from a seller in Thailand. I chose the name and number printed version which was just slightly more "expensive".
The design is really awesome ! Again FBT did a brilliant job with this shirt !

Guam





Guam vs. India (0:4) | AFC Challenge Cup 2014 in Maledives

Of course I need to thank Nick again, but first and most of all I have to thank my friend Eric from Canada for this one ! Thanks a lot for sorting out and gifting that one to me ! It is really special to me and I am happy to finally have a shirt of the Guam national team !

British Virgin Islands





British Virgin Islands vs. Turks Caicos Islands | female U20 in 2010
Again thanks go to my mate Nick. He somehow sorted out a couple of those amazing BVI shirts. I am trying to get one from a player for ages but somehow it never worked. Once I had no money, once he has not been on the Islands and so on. Anyways, I am in a good contact with Jevone Demming and even had a phone call with him. He is a really cool guy and I am sure some sunny day I will be able to sort out another shirt from him :D
Anyways, this one is just perfect. It is a really simple design, but it is probably one of the rarest shirt out there (has ever anybody got one instead of Nick ?)
Just to post some alternative pictures again I will share a private picture of Jevone with you. Unfortunately he is not wearing the shirt on this pic, but instead he wears a track suit of the same design. Besides the pictures shows why the shirt is thaaat huge ;)
If you ever read this mate, keep going !


Chad





Asselmo Massama (Foullah Edifice FC)
Chad vs. Botswana (0:1) | AFCON 2012 qualifiers | 2011 in Chad

Thanks again to Nick for sorting out this one. It is definetly much more official than the one I sourced from Abounasports a year ago. The shirt is from GladiasSport (great logo btw !) and was worn against Botswana in 2011 (Chad - Botswana 0:1 in Ndjamena).
The picture above (as well as the following) are from Asselmo Massama Kiliouto (who is the captain and number 15 !), who I am in a good contact with. Just to be not a copy of Nicks blog (with cheaper pictures) I will post another picture of the shirt worn by the team. It is from the Botswana match again and shows the captains:
