2002 World Cup Campaign

This shirt was worn during Ireland’s memorable return to the World Cup finals after an eight-year absence. Under manager Mick McCarthy, the Boys in Green progressed to the Round of 16, only losing to Spain on penalties.

The tournament is also remembered for the dramatic Roy Keane-Saipan incident, when the star midfielder was sent home before the competition began after a fallout with McCarthy — a moment that remains one of Irish football’s most debated topics.

Key players included:

• Robbie Keane, who scored a famous last-minute equalizer vs Germany

• Damien Duff, a breakout star on the wing

• Shay Given, reliable as ever in goal

• Gary Breen, who even scored against Saudi Arabia

This shirt is a nostalgic piece of Irish football history and a must-have for fans and collectors alike.
