Lithuania – Home – 1994

I’ve already got a couple of Lithuania football shirts. This lovely laced up Diadora effort as seen during their friendly with Brazil in 1996, and a more recent understated Hummel shirt from 2004. However, since completing the set of 211 FIFA national shirts I have been looking to improve my collection, and this shirt ticks two boxes in it being both match worn, and being an extremely rare design.

The shirt was used during the 1994 Baltic Cup where Lithuania thrashed Estonia 3-0, and scraped a 1-0 win in the decider against Latvia. More importantly it was used when Lithuania played Israel in a friendly in 1996 and was swapped with Moshe Glam, and appeared for sale on eBay among a horde of Israeli sporting memorabilia.

If anyone find any better photos or footage of the 1994 Baltic Cup, or of the Lithuania vs Israel friendly match then please let me know!
