Official Nike Italy home short sleeved football shirt from the 2006 international season. Complete with Del Piero #7 on the front & back of the shirt in original lettering.

This rarer, early edition of the jersey features three stars on the crest (representing each World Cup that Italy had won prior to the 2006 tournament). After winning the 2006 World Cup a fourth star was added to subsequent jerseys.

The condition of this original football jersey is 9/10 - Superb (see photos).

After the Italian triumph in the World Cup, Lippi announced his resignation. 1994 World Cup star Roberto Donadoni was announced the new coach of the Azzurri on 13 July. Italy played in the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship qualifying Group B, along with France. Italy won the group, with France being the runner-up. 

On 14 February 2007, FIFA ranked Italy 1st in the FIFA World Rankings, with a total of 1488 points, 37 points ahead of second ranked Argentina. This moved them up one from their previous rank, 2nd. The Azzurri had not received such an honour since 1993.
