The Player: Mario Balotelli

He grew up playing football at Lumezzane and Inter, achieving definitive recognition with Manchester City, with whom he won the Premier League in the 2011/2012 season. Wearing the Italian National Team jersey, he experienced memorable moments, such as scoring two goals in the semi-final against Germany at Euro 2012, and he also represented Italy at the Brazil 2014 World Cup, wearing the number 9 shirt. An intense international journey that makes this item a significant piece for fans of Italian football memorabilia.

What is an original Store jersey?

An original Store jersey is the official version sold to the public, made by the technical sponsor with the same materials and graphics as the jerseys worn on the field, but without the exclusive finishes reserved for team supply, typical of Player Issued or Match Worn jerseys. It is the official product distributed in stores and on the retail market, equipped with all original brand labels, including composition and country of manufacture. The nameset with the player's name and number, when present as in this example, is applied according to the official standards of the technical sponsor. For collectors, it represents a more accessible entry point into football collecting, while maintaining full authenticity and quality of the official product.
