It's a tradition. Here's the link to an article called "Players give shirt off their backs".

Its a basic sign of admiration and respect, this is done mostly at world cup match ups when you know you will encounter a formidable opponent or any other game, after a long 90+ minutes of playing you offer your jersey to the player with which you where matched up against or any other team player, which made you work hard during the game.

Whenever a game ends, as a sign of respect, the captains trade each others jerseys. If you watch carefully, every single team does that.

Usually players exchange jerseys as a type of tradition. This is done in most levels of football

most people do that in international matches. Just a sign of respect to each other.
