Excellent condition. Federation crest and Nike swoosh are embroidered. No pulls or bobbles, one small mark to chest. Colours and stitching in excellent condition.

Worn at the 1998 World Cup where the US failed to progress out of their group, losing all 3 games and scoring just once. Brian McBride was the only US goalscorer in the tournament.

The game against Iran, in which he scored, was described as the 'most politically charged game in World Cup history'. A 2–1 victory for Iran was the team's 1st ever World Cup win and paved the way for the US to exit the competition at the first hurdle.

“Football arrives in the USA”


The 1994 World Cup was an epoch-making moment in the history of soccer in the United States, with the tournament being hosted for the first time on North American soil. The event set an unprecedented attendance record of 3.58 million passionate fans, becoming the most-attended World Cup ever. The US national team's spirited display sparked a newfound interest in the sport, paving the way for the creation of the Major League Soccer (MLS) in 1996. Since then, the MLS has grown into a thriving professional league, boasting 29 teams nationwide. Undoubtedly, the 1994 World Cup served as a watershed moment for soccer's ascension to mainstream prominence in the US.
