The Prize

Take home this white Argentina national football team shirt, match version from a 1970s friendly match, for former midfielder René Houseman.

This is a match shirt from one of the local friendly matches pre and post 1978 World Championship, organized to promote the national team, raise funds for the federation and at the same time research and evaluate new prospects to join the team. The Argentina squad traveled the national territory playing tournaments and friendlies against clubs or regional representative teams, wearing all white or all blue shirts so as not to be confused with those of the various local teams and selections. During these tours only players belonging to the Argentine league were called up, while those who played abroad were not called up.

Features:

- White long-sleeved shirt
- Argentina emblem on chest
- Number sewn in leather
- #7

This item was supplied to the squad for a match, was made available to the players on matchday and differs from the shirts found on general sale. No guarantee can be given that a player wore this item for the match, although there is a possibility that it was used and then washed after the game.

The Dottor Sorriso clowns currently operate in 29 pediatric wards, 18 hospitals and 3 rehabilitation institutes, bringing smiles to more than 30,000 children every year, in 12 provinces all over Italy.

Dottor Sorriso Onlus was the first organization in Italy to even introduce Clown Therapy to rehabilitation institutes, to bring smiles and laughter to children affected by intellectual and motor disabilities. At the same time, over the years, the foundation has created a series of international projects in support of other organizations operating in difficult or emergency settings such as Macedonia, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Romania, India, Palestine and Burkina Faso.
