South Africa #17
All bids are binding. The winner must complete payment within 48 hours after the auction closes.
In Zulu culture, the unwaba, an animal skin chest piece, is worn as a shield of protection and power. Here it becomes the scarf, draped across the chest like armour. Yellow, black and green for Bafana Bafana. Number 17 for Benni McCarthy, the greatest goalscorer this country has ever produced.
THE STORY BEHIND THE COLLECTION
Every Ganxo Studio piece is a handmade natural linen shirt, crafted by hand in Barcelona, paired with an organic cotton scarf. The jersey draws from American football aesthetics with oversized cut, dropped shoulders, V-neck and bold number on the chest. A nod to the host nation woven into every single piece in the collection. The scarf is placed following the traditional dress codes of every country, on the head, around the neck, across the chest or at the waist. This is not a reproduction. This is the only one that will ever exist.
HOW THE AUCTION WORKS
This auction opens June 11th, the first day of the 2026 World Cup. It closes 24 hours after South Africa gets eliminated from the tournament. The further they go, the more this piece is worth. If they reach the final, you do the math. Only 1 exists. When it's gone, it's gone.
