Israel- Goalkeeper 2018/19 Ofir Marciano #18 (Euro 20 Qualifiers) vs. Austria

Ofir Marciano's match worn shirt from the Israel v. Austria match played on October 10th, 2019 at the Ernst Happel Stadion. Israel lost the match 3-1, despite taking the lead from a stunning Eran Zahavi goal in the 34th minute. Marciano played the full match and made many amazing saves. He unfortunately conceded the 3 goals due to horrible defense from the Israeli back line.

During the Euro 2020 qualifiers, Israel featured in Group G alongside: Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Latvia. They had a horrible campaign, finishing in the 5th place with 11 points from their 10 matches.

I received the shirt in person from Ofir at the conclusion of the match. It has white chalk stains on the sleeve with the Uefa heart qualifier and respect patches. I also had it signed by Ofir, prior to his Hibs away match vs. St. Mirren on November 26th, 2019 in Paisley.
