The World Cup will be held in June 2026. For sports item collectors and World Cup soccer fans, how about a ball that lets you feel the history of soccer from 48 years ago? Having this ball in your hands, you might feel as though you're reliving the 1978 final, where Argentina and the Netherlands shook the goal nets four times in a stadium filled with confetti. This item originally had autographs from the members of Nacional, the first Toyota Cup winning team, including player Victorino. However, due to aging, they are no longer visible and have faded away. 1978 World Cup Soccer Argentina Official Match Ball. Adidas Tango River Plate, made in France. Acquired around 1983, used and stored as a display indoors. Never used as a soccer ball, and has rarely been fully inflated. Air has not been added for the past 30 years due to the risk of internal tube damage from aging. There are signs of aging, such as discoloration, fraying, and minor scratches. I believe it was manufactured and sold from 1978 until around the 1982 Spain World Cup. I think the number of unused ones remaining is limited.
