Italy World Cup 2002 Retro Soccer Jersey – A Classic of Passion and Controversy

Relive one of the most dramatic chapters in Italian football with this Italy 2002 World Cup retro soccer jersey, a faithful replica of the iconic Kappa kit worn by the Azzurri in Japan and South Korea.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup remains unforgettable for Italy — not just for the football, but for the controversy that surrounded their elimination.

With a squad full of legends like Francesco Totti, Alessandro Del Piero, and Paolo Maldini, Italy entered the tournament as one of the favorites.

After defeating Ecuador in the opener (2–0) and battling through a tough group, Italy reached the Round of 16 — only to fall in one of the most debated matches in World Cup history.

Facing host nation South Korea, Italy led 1–0 before conceding late and losing 2–1 in extra time after Ahn Jung-hwan’s golden goal. The match became infamous for its refereeing controversies, including a harsh red card for Totti and a disallowed goal for Damiano Tommasi.

Despite the heartbreak, the Italy 2002 jersey remains a landmark in football fashion history. Designed by Kappa, it introduced a revolutionary tight-fit silhouette that symbolized Italian elegance and performance — setting a new standard for football kit design.

Wearing this vintage Italy jersey 2002 is a tribute to resilience, passion, and the timeless beauty of Italian football.
