Empoli Away Shirt 2015/16 – Assane Dioussé – No. 14 – Player Issued – Joma – Serie A

Assane Dioussé's Player Issued jersey: a piece of Empoli's great European season

The second official Empoli FC shirt for the 2015/2016 season in its Player Issued version is an authentic relic of great historical and collecting appeal. Made by technical sponsor Joma in its first season of collaboration with the Tuscan club, this white kit with characteristic blue inserts on the sleeves, a V-neck, and the motto "Per l'Empoli combatterem" embroidered inside the collar represents one of the most recognizable kits of Empoli's contemporary era. The official Serie A TIM patch — in the classic oval format of the time — on the left sleeve and the main sponsor Gensan on the chest attest to its use in the top Italian league. The back features the surname DIOUSSE and the number 14, with sponsor NGM at the bottom. The jersey is in Good condition, with intact colors and perfectly preserved fabric structure, demonstrating the manufacturing quality of Joma in those years.

The player: Assane Dioussé

El Hadji Assane Dioussé (Dakar, September 20, 1997) is a Senegalese defensive midfielder who wrote an important chapter in the recent history of Empoli FC, becoming one of the most talked-about talents in Italian football in the 2015/2016 season. Having come up entirely through the Tuscan club's youth academy since 2010, he made his Serie A debut on August 23, 2015, against Chievo Verona, becoming, at 17 years old, one of the most exciting revelations of the championship. His ability to combine physical strength and superb technique in midfield — in a team that also featured Piotr Zielinski and Leandro Paredes — immediately made him the object of desire for many European clubs. In July 2017, he signed a five-year contract with Saint-Étienne, consecrating his move to the highest levels of European football. He also made 3 appearances for the Senegalese National team, debuting in November 2017. His number 14 jersey with Empoli is the sporting document of the beginnings of a career that has spanned Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Africa Cup of Nations.

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, internal labels with the player's name and number, match-grade 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.
