Description
Amazing one of a kind match worn Brazil long-sleeved home shirt by number 3 Edmílson in the year 2000. The shirt was worn in the 2002 World Cup qualification match of South America (CONMEBOL) against Paraguay on 18 July 2000. In this match Edmílson made his international debut. An incredible shirt to have!
Edmílson only played one match with number 3. In the matches that follow in the Brazilian national football team, he wore the numbers 4 and 5. During the 2002 World Cup, for example, he used the number 5.
In 2000, the Brazil national team had a mixed year, struggling with inconsistency as they prepared for the 2002 World Cup qualifiers. They participated in the CONMEBOL qualifiers and the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup, where they finished as runners-up with a squad mainly composed of under-23 players. Despite the talent in the squad, including Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, Brazil faced challenges in maintaining their usual dominance.
Edmílson, a versatile defender/midfielder, was emerging as an important player for Brazil. Known for his composure and ability to play both in defense and midfield, he earned more caps during this period. His performances with Lyon in France helped solidify his place in the national team, leading to his selection for the 2002 World Cup, where he played a key role in Brazil’s triumph.
The shirt has all the characteristics of a match shirt: correct player size numbers in green on the front and back; different size table without ‘dry fit’ text in the neck below the size; long sleeved Made in China version that was not available in shops (with long sleeves).
