Brazil National Team match boots issued for / worn by Ronaldo during the 2006 FIFA World Cup played in Germany.

This specific model of boots was used by Ronaldo in three matches during the tournament:

• Brazil vs Japan (group stage), the match in which Brazil closed the group with a perfect score.
• Brazil vs Ghana (Round of 16), in which Ronaldo scored one goal.
• Brazil vs France (Quarter-finals), Ronaldo’s final appearance in a World Cup.

In the other two group matches, against Croatia and Australia, Ronaldo opted for two different Nike models, both in blue.

Two official versions of this model are both part of the player’s official match supply:

1. 6-stud metal configuration, generally used for wet or firm ground.
2. High-Grip 13-stud configuration, ideal for better traction on compact surfaces.

As is standard practice at major tournaments, professional players are supplied with both versions. The final selection is made after the pre-match pitch inspection based on ground conditions.

Throughout the competition, Ronaldo consistently used the 6-stud version for official matches. However, during training sessions – including the one prior to the match against Ghana – he was often seen wearing the 13-stud version, as shown in our photo gallery.

The boots feature exclusive personalization, created specifically for Ronaldo:

1. Right side: R9, the iconic mark that made the player instantly recognizable worldwide.
2. Left side: Ronald, a personal abbreviation of his full name.

This personalization is sewn into the interior of the boots, as evidenced by the images available in the gallery. This is a rare feature, as such details were typically applied externally rather than stitched.

Inside the rear portion of the boots, a reinforced heel support was added, a modification requested by Ronaldo himself to enhance stability and protection during foot planting and directional changes.

Both boots are signed by Ronaldo and come with JSA (James Spence Authentication) certification confirming the authenticity of the signatures.

The item will be delivered to the winning bidder in a custom-made case, including molded inserts for the boots and insoles, designed to preserve their original shape. The case features an exterior customization dedicated to the player.

The boots show visible signs of wear, as seen in the photo gallery.

The shipping costs, at the expense of the user, will be definable ultimately only at auction concluded on the basis of his nationality because of the large size of the itmes.

This memorabilia is part of the match supply made available to players during official competitions and is different in its features in relation to the ones sold in fanshops, it could have been worn during the match and washed after the end of the match or prepared for the match but then not used.
