Notes:
Home shirt as worn by the Italy national team during the 1998-99 season, following their quarter-final exit in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The Italian squad, under the leadership of coach Dino Zoff, was looking to regroup and build towards the next major tournament, Euro 2000.
During this period, Italy played several friendly matches and Euro 2000 qualifying games, laying the groundwork for what would eventually be a successful qualification campaign. Key players such as Christian Vieri, Alessandro Del Piero, and Paolo Maldini featured prominently, with Vieri continuing to shine as the team's main striker after an impressive World Cup performance.
This shirt symbolizes Italy's post-World Cup rebuilding phase, as they prepared for future international competitions, and features the classic design associated with Italian football elegance.

FAQ
Q: How do I know if this size will fit me?
A: Check the "Armpit to armpit" measurement in the description above and compare it to a shirt you already own that fits well — this is the most reliable way to judge fit, since sizing has varied across seasons and manufacturers.
Q: How do you guarantee this shirt is authentic?
A: Every shirt is carefully inspected — crest, logos, seams, fabric — and checked against its individual code before listing. We guarantee the authenticity of everything we sell.
Q: What if the size doesn't fit?
A: You have 14 days to email us at contact@aurafootballshirts.com with your order number. Items must be returned in their original condition; return shipping is at your cost, and refunds are processed within 14 business days.
Q: Why does the sizing on vintage football shirts feel different from modern jerseys?
A: Vintage football shirts (particularly from the 1990s and 2000s) were cut looser and boxier than today's slim-fit jerseys, so a size that matches your usual modern jersey can run larger on a vintage shirt. We recommend comparing the "Armpit to armpit" measurement above to a shirt you already own, rather than relying on the size label alone.
