Murtaza Ahmadi is the boy in Argentina’s number 10 jersey made of a simple plastic bag of blue and white stripes that resemble that of the Argentine soccer team to which Leonel Messi belongs.
After his photo with this improvised T-shirt crossed the whole world, and his subsequent search to identify him, this Thursday, February 25 Murtaza received a much-anticipated gift.
In the hands of Unicef in Afghanistan, this 5-year-old boy who lives in one of the conflict zones of Afghanistan now has an Argentina jersey signed by Leonel himself.
All this was possible after it was possible to find the identity of the child, for which we sought the origin of the photograph that was taken by his older brother (the same who made the shirt with a plastic bag that had at hand ) Since your family does not have the economic capacity to buy it.
