Sunday, July 19, 2026 - A jersey worn by football great Pele in the first World Cup final ever won by Brazil sold for $4.9 million at a US auction on Thursday, July 16.
The Brazilian attacker nicknamed "The King" was 17
when he scored two goals in his country's 5-2 victory over host country Sweden
in 1958.
The blue shirt became the second most expensive jersey sold
at auction after an anonymous buyer beat out four other bidders at Sotheby's in
New York
The record of $9.3 million is for a jersey worn by
Argentinian star Maradona during a legendary quarter-final clash with England
in the 1986 Mexico World Cup.
