Five-time best football player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo, has joined a humanitarian campaign to provide medical treatment for one-year-old Sofija Markuljevic from Belgrade, who suffers from a rare form of spinal muscular atrophy.

Sofija needs $2.1 million for treatment in the United States and the family has 10 months to raise the money, while the Portuguese footballer who currently plays for Juventus has donated the jersey he wore during a game against Milan, which has been put up for auction, with all proceeds going toward the campaign fund.

Juventus won the away game 2-0 on November 11, 2018, with Ronaldo scoring the second goal. The bidding for the jersey from that game will be open for the next 23 days.

As of Tuesday, the jersey has reached the price of 4,590 euros.

Photos of the jersey have also been published, which, along with videos from the match, confirm its authenticity.

A big auction of jerseys was also organized in Serbia, when shirts worn by famous athletes went for large sums - and the action is still ongoing.
