Del Piero Italia match shirt
Promoted and authenticated by Memorabid 
Description
Italia match shirt issued / worn by Del Piero in a Euro2008 match, 2008 season.
The story of Alessandro Del Piero is one of the brightest and most meaningful in the history of Italian football. Arriving at Juventus in 1993 as a gifted youngster, he quickly earned not just the shirt, but the heart of the club — eventually becoming its soul. With 705 appearances and 290 goals, Del Piero wrote unforgettable pages in the black and white legend.
On September 20, 1998, in a night that would mark a turning point for the club, Del Piero wore the captain’s armband for the very first time. What began as a symbolic gesture soon turned into a defining truth: from that moment, and for more than a decade, from 2001 to 2012, he became the longest-serving captain in Juventus history. He succeeded giants like Boniperti, Scirea, and Vialli, proudly carrying the torch of Juventinità.
But being captain at Juventus means far more than just leading on the pitch. It means embodying responsibility, values, identity. And Del Piero did it like no other, with quiet elegance, unwavering determination, and a deep, loyal love for the shirt. His most iconic act? In 2006, amid the club’s darkest hour and relegation to Serie B, he stayed, turning down easier roads and richer offers. That decision sealed his legacy: not just a captain by title, but by soul.
Even today, in the chants echoing through the Stadium and the collective memory of Juventus fans, Del Piero remains the captain. Not just one of many, the one. Because he embodied what leadership truly means: a bridge between past and future, between pitch and people, between talent and humility.
For Del Piero, wearing the armband meant leading by example, not by volume. It meant holding the team together through darkness, and representing the club beyond the pitch with class and dignity.
Every match he played, every goal, every pat on a teammate’s back, was a declaration of belonging. Del Piero wasn’t just a champion: he was the keeper of an ideal. And for eleven unforgettable seasons, that armband was the seal of one of the truest love stories ever written between a man and his club.
This memorabilia is part of the match supply made available to players during official competitions and is different in its features in relation to the ones sold in fanshops, it could have been worn during the match and washed after the end of the match or prepared for the match but then not used.
