SloveniaThe article reports on the sale of a football jersey worn by Brazilian legend Pelé during the 1958 World Cup final, which was sold at auction for $4.88 million, making it the second-highest price ever recorded for a football jersey. The jersey, numbered 10 and featuring a distinctive blue color, was originally gifted by Pelé to his teammate Didi after the match. It remained in Didi’s family until 1993, when it was donated to a museum dedicated to Brazilian football. The jersey first appeared for sale in 2004 at Christie's auction house but was not publicly displayed for over two decades. It recently resurfaced at Sotheby's auction, where it fetched a record price. The article notes that only Diego Maradone's jersey from the 1986 World Cup final has commanded a higher price, selling for over €8.1 million.
