Italian Football Hall of Fame


The Italian Football Hall of Fame is the hall of fame for association football players that have had a significant impact on Italian football.
It is housed at the Museo del Calcio in Coverciano, Italy.

History and regulations

The Hall of Fame was established by the Italian Football Federation and Football Museum Foundation in 2011 to celebrate football personalities that "had an unforgettable impact on the history of Italian football". It aims to promote the heritage, history, culture and values of Italian football.
Since 2011, new members are added every year and are divided into categories: Italian player, Italian coach, Italian veteran, Foreign player, Italian referee, Italian director, and Posthumous honours. In the 2022 selection, a non-Italian coach, José Mourinho, was inducted.
The jury listed in the Italian Football Federation website is composed of the directors of the main Italian sporting press bodies, including: Luigi Ferrajolo, Andrea Monti, Alessandro Vocalelli, Paolo De Paola, Gabriele Romagnoli, Federico Ferri, Matteo Marani, Alberto Brandi, and Piercarlo Presutti. However, a different jury composition has been used in different editions.
In 2014, the category Female Italian player was added. In 2018, the Fair Play Award category was added in honour of the late Italian footballer Davide Astori. The same year, a Special Award was awarded to Gianni Brera.
