The shirt Iker Casillas wore in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands has gone missing from Legends Museum in Barcelona.
The shirt worn by Iker Casillas in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final victory has gone missing from Legends Museum in Barcelona, the museum announced this week.
The museum said the absence of the goalkeeper’s shirt was discovered during a routine review of its collection. In a social media alert, the institution described the item as “one of the most iconic pieces” in its holdings.
The shirt carries particular significance in Spanish football history. Casillas wore it in the 2010 final in South Africa, when Spain defeated the Netherlands 1-0 in Johannesburg to win its first World Cup. Casillas, now 45, was Spain’s captain and goalkeeper during that title run and later also played for Porto after leaving Real Madrid.
Legends Museum’s communications department said in an official statement that the garment has major “historical and sporting” importance. The museum said work is underway to clarify what happened and to try to locate the missing item.
The institution has not released further details about the circumstances of the disappearance. It said any new information will be shared through its official channels.
For now, the case leaves one of the most recognizable artifacts from Spain’s greatest football triumph unaccounted for, with the museum’s next update expected to determine whether the shirt can be recovered and how it vanished from the collection.
