Original retro vintage football shirt Netherlands World Cup 2006

Netherlands World Cup 2006 – Nike | Fan Shop Shirt Giovanni van Bronckhorst #5 | Size L

Original Netherlands national team fan shop shirt from the 2006 World Cup in Germany, produced by Nike. This iconic orange shirt features the number 5 on the back with the name of Giovanni van Bronckhorst – the reliable and versatile captain-in-the-making who was a fixture for Oranje for years.

The 2006 World Cup started promisingly: the Netherlands advanced undefeated through the group stage and recorded victories over Serbia & Montenegro and Ivory Coast, followed by a draw against Argentina. However, the adventure ended in the Round of 16 after a tense match against Portugal (0-1), the infamous ‘Battle of Nuremberg’, in which no fewer than four red cards were shown. During this tournament, Van Bronckhorst was a stable force on the left flank, praised for his leadership, defensive solidity, and attacking impulses. Condition: 9.5/10
Size: L
Special feature: Back number 5 – Giovanni van Bronckhorst, one of the most respected players in modern Orange history.

A beautiful and historic shirt that takes you straight back to the 2006 World Cup and an era of experienced leaders within the Dutch national team.
