One of the small business owners in Solo, known as NS Jersey, is run by Nofi Setiawan, who shared his predictions for the potential winner and runner-up of Group A.
Before giving his predictions, Nofi recounted the story behind starting his jersey business.
He explained that the business began while he was still in high school.
“The background of this business came from my marketing studies in school. There were practical exams, and I decided to test this business idea back then. It also came from my personal interest, so after graduation I started selling little by little until now,” said Nofi Setiawan on Wednesday, 10 June 2026.
“Alhamdulillah, it’s grown quite well now. I sell adult jerseys in two types: standard (stadium) and player issue. There are also shorts and kids’ jerseys. That’s a bit of the story behind how this business started,” he added.
Nofi began to focus more seriously on his business after the COVID-19 pandemic affected Indonesia.
“If I trace it back, it started around 2020 just as a hobby. I enjoyed earning some money but hadn’t thought about taking it seriously. But after the COVID-19 outbreak, I decided to commit fully, and since then the business has expanded,” he shared.
When asked about the impact of the 2026 World Cup on jersey sales, Nofi said that public enthusiasm usually increases after the group stage ends.
“The real surge happens after the group stage,” he explained.
According to Nofi, European teams, especially Germany and France, are the best sellers among his jerseys.
Besides Germany and France, the Latin American giants Brazil and Argentina are also in high demand.
“The best-selling ones are definitely Germany and France. Portugal comes next, mainly because of Ronaldo’s popularity. Then Argentina and Brazil follow. England and the Netherlands aren’t as hyped,” he noted.
Interestingly, Netherlands jerseys are mostly shipped to Eastern Indonesia.
“The Netherlands jerseys are often ordered from Eastern Indonesia because many people there have Dutch ancestry, so we send a lot there,” said Nofi.
The Solo-based businessman added that customers usually buy jerseys for three main reasons.
“From my experience, it’s usually one of three things: the design, their favourite player or team (like Ronaldo, Mbappe, or Messi), and the budget,” he explained.
Over the years in this business, Nofi said one of the most memorable experiences was when old stock jerseys suddenly sold out because a team performed well in the World Cup.
“The most memorable moment is when I still have old stock and the team goes far in the tournament. For example, I still had Argentina jerseys back in 2022, and when they reached the semi-finals, demand skyrocketed. The prices also went up accordingly,” he recalled.
He has also shipped jerseys as far as Papua and Maluku.
Usually, shipments to these areas are done in bulk.
His largest single shipment reached 12 pieces, with customers often grouping orders to save on shipping costs.
“I have customers all the way in Papua and Maluku. Since they buy for personal use and not resale, the biggest single order I’ve sent is around 12 pieces. They usually combine orders with friends to minimize shipping costs,” Nofi explained.
