This authentic ticket is from the Round of 16 match between Switzerland national football team and Germany national football team, played on June 4, 1938 at the historic Parc des Princes in Paris. Part of the 1938 FIFA World Cup, this was one of the tournament’s opening knockout matches. The game ended 1–1 after extra time, forcing a replay — a dramatic beginning to one of the most politically and historically charged World Cups ever staged.
 
Issued for the “Virage Boulogne” section and priced at 10 francs, this beautifully designed sepia ticket captures the elegance of 1930s football. As the 1938 tournament was only the third World Cup in history, surviving original tickets are exceptionally scarce. Owning this piece means holding a tangible artifact from pre-war international football — a rare and museum-worthy collectible for serious World Cup historians and investment-grade memorabilia collectors.
