Official Umbro Brazil home football shirt from the 1993/94 international season. Complete with Leonardo #16 on the front & back of the shirt in official flock lettering.

Although similar in design to Brazil's 1994/95 jersey, this rarer 1993/94 version featured only three stars above the crest (prior to their triumph at the 1994 World Cup).

The condition of this original football jersey is 8/10 - Excellent. Some bobbles & light line pulls on the lower front & rear (see photos).

Leonardo was part of the Brazil under-20 team that placed third in the 1989 FIFA World Youth Championship. He made his full international debut for Brazil in 1990. He was selected as a left-back for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, keeping the young Roberto Carlos out of the team, much to the latter's chagrin.

Leonardo played well in the first group games but was then given a four-match suspension for elbowing the American midfielder Tab Ramos in the head in the round of 16, causing a skull fracture that hospitalized him for three and a half months. Leonardo's suspension prevented him from participating in the remainder of the competition. At the time, it was the second longest ban imposed in World Cup history.
