Historical Anecdote
This jersey is associated with Italy’s participation in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. Alessandro Nesta, known for his elegance and defensive precision, was a cornerstone of Giovanni Trapattoni’s squad. Unfortunately, the tournament was marked by a controversial elimination against South Korea in the Round of 16. Nesta, sadly, had to leave the field due to an injury during the tournament, but he remains an emblematic figure of that generation of Italian players.
