Manchester United’s (Red) Shirts Return To Raise Funds For Global Health Fight

MatchWornShirt (MWS) has once again partnered with Manchester United and (RED) to launch a unique fundraising initiative, giving fans the chance to own exclusive, Manchester United match-worn shirts from their favourite players.

On 27th April, Manchester United will take to the pitch against Brentford FC wearing a special edition shirt with (RED) as the front-of-shirt sponsor.

Following the match, a full set of match-worn, issued and signed shirts, including those from the starting XI and substitutes, will be made available to fans and collectors via the MWS website and app, running from to 2nd May.

Founded by Bono & Bobby Shriver in 2006, (RED) partners with the world’s most iconic brands and people to raise money, heat and urgency for global health crises.

To date, (RED) has generated over $800m for the Global Fund, helping more than 350 million people. Net proceeds from the auction will go in part to support (RED)’s mission to combat global health crises.

Tijmen Zonderwijk, co-founder at MatchWornShirt, said: “These shirts represent the very best of football – moments on the pitch transformed into meaningful impact off it.

“By bringing fans closer to the game they love, we’re turning that passion into something bigger, helping to raise critical funds and awareness for life-saving global health programmes around the world.”

Kate Charles, Managing Director of (RED), said: “This collection shows how purpose-driven partnerships can turn the power of sport into real-world impact.

“Each shirt tells a story from the pitch, while also helping to fund life-saving global health programs in communities where they are needed most.”
