Notes:
Home shirt as worn by Andre Pirlo during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers, where the Azzurri reached the final.
The World Cup was deeply disappointing tournament for the reigning world champions. Drawn into Group F with Paraguay, New Zealand, and Slovakia, the Azzurri failed to win a single match and finished last in their group, becoming only the fourth title holder in history to be eliminated in the first round.
Italy draw 1–1 with both Paraguay and New Zealand. Pirlo made his return as a second-half substitute in the final group match against Slovakia, but despite his efforts, Italy lost 3–2 in a chaotic and frantic game that sealed their elimination.
The tournament marked the end of an era for several veterans from the 2006 squad, including Fabio Cannavaro and Gennaro Gattuso, and led to Marcello Lippi’s departure as head coach. Though Pirlo’s impact was limited, his brief appearance highlighted the lack of imagination in Italy’s midfield without him — a shortfall that would be dramatically corrected two years later at Euro 2012.

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.
