Andrea Pirlo's Italy 2010/11 Home Shirt: the Azzurri's kit at the South Africa World Cup

The Italian National Team's first shirt for the 2010/2011 season, made by Puma, was worn by the Azzurri during the 2010 FIFA World Cup campaign in South Africa and in subsequent matches until November 2011. The essential blue design with subtle horizontal patterns, the V-neck finished in white with a tricolor insert, and the four stars embroidered inside the collar, symbolizing the World Cup titles won by Italy, make this kit an iconic chapter in the recent history of the National Team. This "Store" version features Andrea Pirlo's name and number 21 on the back, who was a starting midfielder for the Azzurri squad at that time. The condition is Very Good: the fabric and prints are well preserved, with some small visible stains due to time and storage, clearly documented in the photos.

The player: Andrea Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo (Flero, May 19, 1979) is universally considered one of the most refined and influential playmakers in the history of Italian football. Having grown up at Brescia, he built his footballing legend first with AC Milan, with whom he won two Champions Leagues, and then with Juventus, conquering four consecutive Scudetti. With the Italian National Team, he experienced the highest moment of his career on July 9, 2006, in Berlin, lifting the World Cup after having decided the entire Azzurri journey with decisive assists and plays. Also present at the 2010 South Africa World Cup with the number 21, Pirlo continued to be a technical and tactical reference point for the National Team until Euro 2012, which he played as an absolute protagonist. His unique class in managing the game remains a reference for entire generations of midfielders.
