Introducing: The Wesley Sneijder Collection

Dreamer to legend

Amsterdam to Istanbul. The Bernabéu years. World Cup heartbreak. European glory and the Ballon d’Or that never was.

Wesley Sneijder lived out a career that most can only imagine. A boyhood obsession to pull on the Ajax shirt that would end with icon status – at home and in the hearts of fans at clubs around Europe.

And for the man Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk dubbed the greatest No. 10 the Netherlands ever produced, a collection of shirts, medals and mementos is no substitute for his lived experiences.

“To be honest, the memories are here,” Sneijder says, hand on heart. “If I can make other people happy with them, they’re more than welcome.”

Every Wednesday, Legend Collection gives you rare opportunities to own worn & signed shirts from soccer icons. Follow for alerts when the next collection drops.

Collection highlights

Match-worn Ronaldo jersey | 2013

Champions League hat trick vs. Galatasaray

A two-month crossover at Real Madrid in 2009 was enough for Sneijder to build a close bond with Cristiano Ronaldo.

The pair faced off four times in the Champions League across 2013, with this Real Madrid shirt coming from a dominant Ronaldo performance in Istanbul: A second-half hat trick in a 6-1 win. 

The badge on the right sleeve marks nine European titles, and this iconic light blue away shirt comes from the famous 2013/14 season in which Los Blancos completed the long-awaited La Decima.

Auction: Ronaldo Special

Match Ball | World Cup 2010

From Sneijder's iconic header vs. Brazil

It’s a celebration remembered to this day: Sneijder wheeling away in disbelief having scored a quarterfinal-winning goal against Brazil… with his head.

This Jabulani ball comes from that goal and unscripted moment of joy that gave birth to Sneijder’s most famous moment in the Oranje jersey.

Auction: World Cup Stories.

Silver Ball Award | World Cup 2010

World-class tournament in South Africa

Undeniably at the peak of his career, Sneijder came into the 2010 World Cup flying high after Inter’s Champions League win. 

Five goals in South Africa don’t tell the whole story of a tournament in which he was unstoppable – player of the match in four of seven games. Only the brilliance of Diego Forlan prevented Sneijder from taking home the top prize.

Coppa Italia winner’s medal | 2011

From a Stadio Olimpico victory

Sneijder was the creative force behind Inter Milan's seventh Coppa Italia win - its second in a row. He set up the first two goals for Samuel Eto'o with world-class passes the Nerazzurri fans had come to expect.

This winner's medal is the very same that was placed around the Dutchman's neck after his outstanding individual performance in Rome.

Auction: Italian Glory
