The U.S. Soccer Federation, United States National Soccer Team Players Association (USNSTPA) and United States Women’s National Team Players Association (USWNTPA) have announced a partnership with MatchWornShirt, a global leader in the sports memorabilia market.
As per the deal, the company has become their official match-worn auction platform. The agreement represents MatchWornShirt’s official U.S. launch and an important turning point in the company’s growth trajectory and expansion, providing real-time access to signed, game-worn jerseys from the United States Men’s and Women’s National Teams.
The first jersey auction from U.S. Soccer has begun already, showcasing match-worn, signed jerseys from the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) during their recent back-to-back games against Brazil. On May 31, 2025, a fresh auction started at kickoff when the USWNT faced China.
This summer, MatchWornShirt will hold further auctions showcasing players’ jerseys from the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) throughout its 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign.
Mark Levinstein, Executive Director of the Players Association of the U.S. Men’s National Team Players, said, “Owning a match-worn jersey is holding a living fragment of U.S. Soccer history. The jerseys carry the energy, emotion, and dedication of the players who have spent their lives to earn the opportunity to wear them, and tell a story of hard-fought battles, unforgettable moments, and the pride of representing an entire nation on the global stage. Fans and collectors can connect directly to the legacy of the USMNT.”
Lilian Bours, Chief Marketing Officer of MatchWornShirt, said, “The energy around sports memorabilia in the U.S. has never been higher – and soccer in America is entering a golden era. We’re thrilled to give American soccer fans unprecedented access to their National Teams, deepening the emotional connection to their favorite players and celebrating the game’s most iconic moments. We turn matchdays into memories – in wearable and collectible form.”
Tijmen Zonderwijk, CEO and Co-founder of MatchWornShirt, commented, “What started as one small auction in the Netherlands has now grown into a global community, and we are excited to bring that same trusted experience to fans in the U.S., starting with their beloved men’s and women’s national teams.”
