An Orange County resident is preparing to sell his entire collection of soccer jerseys, a move that could generate enough money to cover his son's upcoming college tuition.
Jerseys on the market ahead of a global tournament
The collection spans decades of the sport, featuring shirts from international clubs and national teams, reflecting the seller's long‑standing enthusiasm for the game.
He has timed the sale to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted in Southern California, an event expected to draw thousands of fans to the region.
Organizers anticipate a surge of visitors seeking memorabilia, and the seller hopes that the heightened interest will translate into a competitive market for his jerseys.
While the World Cup will showcase the world's best talent on the field, the off‑field economy surrounding the tournament is also coming to life, with collectors and casual buyers alike looking for unique pieces.
The initiative illustrates how personal financial goals can intersect with major sporting events, turning a private passion into a public fundraising effort.
