Zambia 7

I finally got a matchworn Zambia shirt - and even better, it is from the best time of Zambian football! When the team won the AFCON in 2012, causing one of the biggest upsets in international football, the team did wear this shirt. One of the key players at the time was Chris Katongo, who played in Bielefeld for a few years.

Years later, I got this shirt from a Bielefeld collector for about 80€. It did not quite fit his collection and he thus did knock it off. It does, in turn, perfectly fit my collection and I absolutely love it! To my surprise, the matchworn version does, indeed, have some small differences to the fan version that I already owned. It just is a perfect shirt for me.
