Uruguay 2002

The Legacy

The 2002 Uruguay away jersey is a poignant relic of La Celeste’s return to the global stage at the FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan. Featuring a clean, minimalist design by Luanvi, this white kit represents a pivotal era for Uruguayan football as they ended a 12-year absence from the tournament. The jersey evokes the grit and passion of a squad fighting to restore the nation's proud footballing heritage. Though their campaign ended in the group stages, the tournament was defined by high-stakes drama, including a thrilling 3-3 draw against Senegal where Uruguay clawed back from a 3-0 deficit. This shirt is a must-have for collectors who appreciate the raw, unrefined spirit of early 2000s international football. Its rarity and the specific cultural weight of the 2002 campaign make it a prized possession for any serious kit enthusiast looking to celebrate the resilience of the Uruguayan national team.
