FOOTBALL MEMORIES

Nacional is one of South America's greatest football institutions. The club has won the Uruguayan championship numerous times and has lifted the Copa Libertadores three times. Along with rivals Peñarol, Nacional forms one of the world's oldest and most intense local derbies, El Clásico Uruguayo, where all of Montevideo comes to a standstill.

This Umbro jersey from 2018 retains the club's classic identity. The clean white base is combined with blue and red details – the colors that have been part of Nacional's DNA for more than 100 years. Antel is the main sponsor on the chest, while BBVA, Nissan, and TURIL bear witness to the sponsorship package the club played with during this period.

Along the neck, the text "Club Nacional de Football Tricampeón del Mundo" is displayed. This refers to the club's three triumphs in the Intercontinental Cup, where Nacional defeated Europe's best club teams in 1971, 1980, and 1988. It is a title that continues to be a large part of the club's identity and pride.

For European collectors, Nacional jerseys are far rarer than those of the big clubs from the Premier League or La Liga. Precisely for this reason, they have a special charm. They tell the story of one of South America's most traditional clubs and of a country that has left a disproportionately large mark on the history of world football.

An original Nacional jersey is an obvious choice for the collector who wants something different from the most common European club jerseys.
