Galatasaray Away Jersey 2013/14 – Albert Riera – No. 77 – Player Issued – Nike – Turkish Airlines Antalya Cup

Albert Riera's Player Issued Jersey: Galatasaray's number 77 for the 2013/14 season

Galatasaray Spor Kulübü's second official jersey for the 2013/2014 season in Player Issued version is a rare and highly collectible item, linked to one of the most glorious periods in the Istanbul club's recent history. Made in Turkey by Nike with Dri-Fit technology, in anthracite and black with orange details and a red profile on the V-neck, it features the technical characteristics exclusively reserved for team supply: professional high-performance fabric, customization with the player's number and surname in thermal print, superior construction quality compared to commercial versions. The back features the number 77 and the surname RIERA in orange, with the Galatasaray crest watermarked at the bottom of the number. The size is L, corresponding to the athlete cut of the Nike supply. The official patch of the Turkish Airlines Antalya Cup, the pre-season tournament that Galatasaray used to prepare for the season in one of the most ambitious years in its recent history, is emblazoned on the sleeve. The number 77 is an atypical team supply number, probably assigned to Riera during the pre-season preparation as part of the internal distribution of jerseys. The main sponsor on the chest is Türk Telekom, while the Ülker logo appears on the back and the Avea brand on the sleeves. An authentic and complete specimen, produced for a player who left an indelible mark on Turkish football that season.

The player: Albert Riera

Albert Riera Ortega (Manacor, April 15, 1982) is a Spanish midfielder who has graced the most important stages of European football with class, personality, and refined technique. Developed at Mallorca, he won a Copa del Rey before embarking on an international career that took him to Bordeaux, Espanyol, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Olympiakos. With Benitez's Reds, he enjoyed moments of great visibility, also earning a call-up to the Spanish national team. In September 2011, he joined Galatasaray, where he remained until January 2014, contributing with 80 appearances and winning two Süper Lig titles and two Turkish Super Cups in a successful period that is among the richest in the club's history. His time in the yellow and black jersey remained in the hearts of Galatasaray fans, who welcomed him warmly even when he returned as an assistant coach in 2020 and as a technical collaborator in 2022. This Player Issued jersey represents an authentic historical document of one of the most intense chapters of Riera's career.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, customization with the player's name and number, match cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of extremely high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
