Pelé's 1958 World Cup jersey makes history after more than six decades
The historic jersey worn by the legendary Brazilian footballer Pelé in the 1958 World Cup final was sold for $4.9 million, making it the most expensive memorabilia related to the late star. Pelé wore the jersey at the age of 17, contributing to Brazil's 5-2 victory over Sweden, and scored two goals in the final, which marked Brazil's first world championship title. The jersey attracted widespread participation among bidders, becoming the second most expensive shirt sold at auction after Maradona's jersey, which featured the famous "Hand of God" goal in 1986 and sold for $9.3 million in 2022. This sale reflects the historical significance and the great legacy Pelé left in the world of football.
