Museo del Calcio

Located within the FIGC Technical Centre in Coverciano, Florence, the Museo del Calcio showcases the history of Italy’s national football team. Exhibits include jerseys from World Cup victories in 1934, 1938, 1982, and 2006, as well as memorabilia from the Azzurri’s triumphs in 1968 and 2021. The museum offers educational programs for schools and sports clubs, and visitors can download a free audio guide via the museum’s app. Official merchandise is available at the FIGC Store on-site.

Planning your visit

The Museo del Calcio is inside Coverciano, the technical centre where the Italian national team trains, which makes it a working football institution rather than a tourist attraction. The collection covers the Azzurri from the beginning: shirts from the World Cup wins of 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006, the European Championships of 1968 and 2021, boots, caps, trophies and the personal effects of players across a century.

The particular pleasure is the specificity — the actual shirt worn in a specific final, with the sweat and the grass stains, rather than a replica. For Italian visitors the 1982 and 2006 material carries considerable emotional weight, and the museum treats those tournaments accordingly.

Because it sits within the training complex on the outskirts of Florence, visiting requires more planning than a city-centre museum: opening arrangements depend on the centre's activities, and access is not always guaranteed when squads are in residence.

A free audio guide is available through the museum's app, and the FIGC store is on site.

Bookable options include entry tickets and guided tours. For football supporters in Florence it is a straightforward decision; for others, the city's art holdings will win. Current availability is shown below.
