PLOT : Set against Argentina’s historic 1986 World Cup match against England, The Jersey of God follows a grieving former equipment manager whose life was forever shaped by loss, war, and the legend of Diego Maradona’s iconic blue jersey. Decades after the unforgettable match that gave a nation hope, news of the shirt’s auction sends him on one final journey on a deeply personal mission that forces him to confront the ghosts of his past and the fractured relationship with his daughter. Blending football history with raw human emotion, the film explores memory, redemption, and the enduring power of a single moment to change lives forever.
