Home of Football: Home & Away

The jersey Pelé wore at 17.
The shirt Messi wore at his first World Cup.
The kit that announced Lamine Yamal to the world.
Now in New York, for four weeks.

During the summer of 2026, one of the world’s greatest private football collections opens to the public for the very first time.
Home of Football brings together historic match-worn jerseys, trophies, photography, film, and rare artifacts from the never-before-seen Manzano Family Collection, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to experience some of the most significant objects in football history. The exhibition is curated by Air Afrique, a Parisian creative collective founded in 2021, drawing inspiration from the eponymous pan-African airline (1961-2002). Their practice includes exhibitions (Metropolitan Museum 2025, MoMA 2026), design collaborations (Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Nike) and an annual magazine dedicated to Afro-diasporic arts.

Every object on display is original. Every jersey was worn on the pitch. Every artifact witnessed history firsthand.
