A football shirt worn by Pelé during the 1958 FIFA World Cup final sold for $4.9 million at auction, setting a new record for the most valuable memorabilia linked to the legendary Brazilian player. The shirt, which was worn by the then-17-year-old Pelé as Brazil defeated host nation Sweden 5-2 in Stockholm, became the second-most expensive football shirt ever sold after the $9.3 million price tag for Diego Maradona's 'Hand of God' shirt from 1986. This sale surpassed its previous auction value of £70,505 ($105,600) from 2004. Pelé, who passed away in 2022 at age 82, remains the youngest player to score in a World Cup final.
