Notes:

Home shirt as worn by the Italians and Fabio Cannavaro during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where Italy triumphed to win their fourth World Cup title.

Fabio Cannavaro, wearing the iconic #5, was a pivotal figure in Italy's defensive line and was awarded the Ballon d'Or later that year for his outstanding performances throughout the tournament. Italy's campaign was marked by a solid defensive record and a dramatic final against France, which ended 1-1 after extra time. The match was decided by a penalty shootout, where Italy emerged victorious 5-3. Cannavaro's leadership and defensive prowess were crucial in Italy's World Cup success, making this shirt a symbol of one of the most memorable moments in Italian football history.

The final is also remembered for Zinedine Zidane's infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi, which led to Zidane's red card in his last professional match.
