Moldova Home Shirt 2014/15 – Artur Ioniță – No.7 – Player Issued – Jako – UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifiers

Artur Ioniță's Player Issued jersey: Moldova's number 7 in the UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifiers

The first official Player Issued jersey of the Moldovan National Team for the 2014/2015 season is an authentic relic of significant collecting interest, produced by Jako for the team kit supply of the Football Federation of Moldova (FMF) for the UEFA European Championship 2016 Qualifiers in France. The jersey is royal blue with red side panels and a V-neck — Moldova's national colors — with a yellow Jako logo and the official FMF crest embroidered in gold, blue, red, and yellow on the right chest. The white number 7 is applied to the left chest. On the right sleeve is the official UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifiers patch, featuring the logo of the French tournament; on the left sleeve are the UEFA Respect patch and the UEFA logo. The size is EU L (D:L / UK:M), corresponding to the athlete's cut of the Jako supply. The inner label indicates Made in Turkey. A rare piece linked to one of the most representative and long-standing figures of modern Moldovan football, in the years when Ioniță was at the peak of his international career.

The player: Artur Ioniță

Artur Ioniță (Chișinău, August 17, 1990) is the most representative midfielder in the recent history of the Moldovan National Team, with 81 appearances and 5 goals in his international career and having worn the captain's armband for many years. Developed at Zimbru Chișinău, he made a name for himself in Switzerland with Aarau, with whom he won promotion to the Super League in 2013. In July 2014, he moved to Italy with Hellas Verona, becoming the first Moldovan player to score in Serie A on September 21, 2014 — a decisive goal away at Torino. Sold to Cagliari in 2016 for 4.5 million euros, he surpassed 100 Serie A appearances with the Sardinians, before continuing with Benevento, Pisa, and other Italian football clubs. This Player Issued jersey dates back exactly to the 2014/15 period, when Ioniță was at Verona and simultaneously led Moldova in the Euro 2016 Qualifiers, embodying the role of technical leader and symbol of the Moldovan National Team. His retirement from the National Team in November 2025 marked the end of an era for Moldovan football.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared 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 very high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
