Museo del Calcio, Football museum in Coverciano, Florence, Italy.
The Museo del Calcio is a football museum in Coverciano, Florence, dedicated to the history of the Italian national team and displaying trophies, medals, jerseys, and memorabilia. It also holds a digital archive with photographs and videos covering decades of Italian football.
The museum was founded in the 1990s, in the years following the 1990 FIFA World Cup hosted by Italy. Since then, it has grown into the main place for documenting the full history of the Squadra Azzurra.
The museum sits within the training ground of the Italian national team in Coverciano, which gives the visit a sense of being close to the game itself. Jerseys, trophies, and photographs on display show how deeply football is woven into everyday life in Italy.
The museum is inside the Centro Tecnico Federale in Coverciano, on the outskirts of Florence, and is easiest to reach by car or bus. Because visiting hours can depend on the national team's schedule, it is worth checking availability before you go.
The museum shares its grounds with the active training facility of the national team, so visitors occasionally see players during their stay. The collection also holds objects from the earliest years of Italian football, going back to the early 20th century.
