Description

This Germany 1998 retro home shirt is signed by Lothar Matthäus and presented in a meticulously hand-crafted frame as part of an exclusive 20-piece collection, celebrating his extraordinary legacy and historic international career.

The shirt is a premium licensed retro design of the classic 1998 shirt, preserving the authentic design and spirit of that iconic World Cup campaign. It is set against a dramatic backdrop of Matthäus playing the ball against Croatia in the 1998 World Cup Quarter Finals, a match Germany would go on to lose 3-0. The frame is titled 'Danke Matthäus – Five World Tournaments, One Legend,' commemorating his incredible milestone of playing in his fifth and final World Cup, making him one of only six players ever to achieve such a feat.

Celebrate this remarkable chapter in football history, honouring Matthäus’s leadership, longevity, and unrivalled contribution to the German national team. His performance at the 1998 World Cup marked the culmination of a legendary international career, cementing his status as one of football’s true icons.

This is a strictly limited 1 of 20 edition. Only twenty pieces have been produced globally, and once sold, this collection will never be recreated, making it a rare and exclusive tribute for collectors and admirers of football greatness.

Please note that every framed shirt comes with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming the signature is genuine. Each shirt is signed individually, so the autograph may differ slightly from the image shown here.

FAQs

Why can I not purchase more than one item at a time?

At All Sport Autographs, we limit purchases to one item per customer to ensure fair access to our exclusive, limited-edition products. This policy helps prevent any single buyer from monopolizing newly released items, allowing more collectors the opportunity to own a piece of sports history.

Do I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?

Any items bought from abroad may incur import or customs fees.

All Sport Autographs has no influence over these charges. We recommend reaching out to your country’s customs office for detailed information.

I’m waiting for my parcel. Can you provide a delivery update?

You can monitor your order’s delivery using the tracking link sent to your email. If you see that the shipment isn’t progressing, please contact DHL directly for assistance, as they can provide the most accurate support.

Can I change my delivery address?

Once an order has been paid for, the delivery address cannot be changed. Please double-check your address before completing your purchase.

If you need to make changes after the order has shipped, please reach out directly to the shipping carrier using the details provided in your Track & Trace email.

What is the process for cancelling an order or returning a frame?

Each frame is carefully crafted to order, which means we aren’t able to cancel orders once they’re placed. We start production immediately to ensure you receive your frame as quickly as possible. If there’s ever an error on our part or the frame is made incorrectly, we’ll gladly accept a return and make it right.

When is the next signing and who is it with?

We’re excited about upcoming signings, but we can’t give exact dates. With the packed schedules of top sporting stars, it’s difficult to make firm commitments. The most reliable way to stay updated is to contact our team—they can share who we’re aiming to sign and the timeframe we’re working toward.

Will my favourite athlete be signing items soon?

We’re just getting started, and there are many athletes we haven’t partnered with yet but we’re working on it! We’d love to hear your suggestions for who we should connect with next. Send us a message on Facebook, Instagram, or Tiktok and let us know your ideas.
