The report says the standout lot includes the shirt and shorts from the final against Japan, along with Solo’s winner’s ring from that tournament. There are also items linked to matches against China and Germany, two more landmarks from that run.
That matters because Solo’s name is tied to a defining era for the USWNT. She was not simply part of a winning squad; she became one of the faces of a team that helped push women’s football further into the mainstream in the United States and beyond.
There is a difference between old kit and sporting history. Solo’s auction appears to sit firmly in the second category. The report also says the collection includes her Golden Glove from 2015, underlining that this is not just about sentiment, but about elite performance and a tournament legacy that still carries weight.
Solo also framed the sale in personal terms. “Espero que quem adicionar essas peças às suas coleções sinta a mesma conexão com este jogo que eu sinto,” she said.
Women’s football has grown dramatically since 2015, and moments like this show how that generation is being archived, celebrated and, increasingly, valued. Solo remains a complicated figure in the broader public conversation, but the sporting legacy is difficult to ignore.
The next storyline to watch is how strongly the market responds - and whether more icons from the modern women’s game follow with similar sales as the sport’s history becomes ever more collectible.
