How it works
The most common question we’re asked is: “How does MatchWornShirt work?”
The answer is simple: We partner directly and exclusively with over 400 football clubs and national teams to put match-worn and signed shirts in the hands of fans via our online auction platform.
We work closely with kit managers, who collect the shirts in the dressing room after the game, make sure they're signed by the players, and send them to our offices for final authentication. Then we deliver these pieces of club history to fans and collectors worldwide!
1. COLLECTED IN THE DRESSING ROOM
Auctions generally go live from kick-off. The kit managers collect the shirts from the players immediately after the game, oversee the signing, and ship them to one of our offices.
2. AUTHENTICATED BY OUR TEAM
We’re rigorous in our authentication process. Once the shirts arrive with us, the team does a final check to ensure that all shirts are genuine and correctly listed on our platform.
3. DIGITAL CERTIFICATION WITH FABRICKS
Using Fabricks’ groundbreaking technology, we create a digital certificate of authenticity for each shirt. The certificate verifies the shirt’s identity, providing access to a wealth of information about it, including details about the player and the match.
4. SHIRT IMAGES UPLOADED
Before the auction closes, the digital mock-ups uploaded at kick-off are replaced with high-definition images of the match-worn shirts, so you can see the all-important signatures and other unique details.
5. THE WINNING BID
If you're the highest bidder when the auction finishes, the shirt is yours!
6. DELIVERY SENT OUT TO YOU
We carefully prepare your shirt and it's shipped within 1-2 business days. Once it arrives, a unique piece of football history is in your hands.
