*Unique Model* CHILE MUSEUM GEM! Rolando Garcia #2 Chile National Team Match Worn Shirt vs River Plate (Argentina) for Official PRE World Cup 1974 Match played at Chile,  May 25, 1974.

This model was used less than three (3) games before the start of FIFA World Cup 1974!

Note:

1973: Le Coq Sportif brand . Indirectly, the French firm was the first to sponsor the team thanks to the efforts of Alberto Fouilloux and Ignacio Prieto, who played in the French League and aspired to be representatives of the Gallito franchise in our country. For that, they brought the team's clothing to the team that was heading to Moscow to face the USSR for the World Cup Qualifiers in Germany. However, since there was no formal contract, those jerseys were not played against the Soviets. In the following months, these kits were used in friendlies prior to the German competition, but since there was no contractual relationship, the Le Coq symbol was covered with a tricolor shield and a ribbon. That's why the badge appears on the player's right side and not on the left, as always happens.

*Provenance: River Plate Legend Collection*
