The jersey worn by Brazilian football legend Pelé during the 1958 FIFA World Cup final has been sold for a record $4.9 million, making it the most valuable piece of Pelé memorabilia ever auctioned.
The historic shirt was worn by Pelé when he was just 17 years old, as he inspired Brazil to a 5-2 victory over Sweden in the final to secure the country’s first World Cup title.
The teenager scored two goals in the match, announcing himself as one of football’s greatest talents.
The sale set a new benchmark for Pelé-related collectibles, reflecting the enduring legacy of the three-time World Cup winner, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in football history.
The jersey now stands as the highest-priced item of Pelé memorabilia ever sold at auction.
