The Prize

Bid on this red satin Napoli away shirt, issued/worn by the Argentinian phenomenon Diego Armando Maradona for a 1988/89 Serie A championship match.

Also known as El Pibe de Oro, Maradona is considered one of the greatest footballers of all time and, by some, the absolute best. Absolute idol and icon of Naples, Maradona played with the light-blue jersey for seven years and won two Scudetti, a UEFA Cup, an Italian Cup and an Italian Supercup.

Despite Napoli's second position in Serie A behind Inter and the Italy Cup Final loss against Sampdoria, the 1988/1989 season has gone down in Club history for the conquest of the first International Trophy: the UEFA Cup won in the final against Stuttgart.

The back of the shirt has even been autographed by Maradona.

Features:

Short-sleeve away shirt
Napoli emblem applique sewn on chest
NR Sponsor sewn on
Material: satin fabric
100% nylon
Made in Italy
Fabric number sewn on
#10, size L

The Cause

ASSOCIAZIONE BIANCA GARAVAGLIA (ABG) was founded on April 28, 1987 and named after Bianca, a girl who at the age of 5 contracted a rare form of neoplasia. It was Bianca who, during the months spent at the Istituto Tumori di Milano, drew the green and fuchsia flower that immediately became synonymous with hope and the symbol of the association.

ABG was established by Bianca’s parents. Fully aware of the many difficulties faced when dealing with infantile tumors, they firmly believed that immediate and direct support to existing facilities was necessary.

ABG's goal is to collect funds to promote scientific studies and medical treatment in the field of infantile tumors, as well as to provide first-hand operational support to all related initiatives.

The association has been operating for over 25 years now, supporting the “Struttura Complessa di Pediatria” (Pediatric Complex Unit) of the “IRCCS Istituto Nazionale Tumori di Milano” Foundation, one of the major research and treatment centers in the field of infantile tumors, where small patients from all over Italy converge.
