Notes:

Home shirt as worn by the Italy national team during the 1998-99 season, following their quarter-final exit in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The Italian squad, under the leadership of coach Dino Zoff, was looking to regroup and build towards the next major tournament, Euro 2000.

During this period, Italy played several friendly matches and Euro 2000 qualifying games, laying the groundwork for what would eventually be a successful qualification campaign. Key players such as Christian Vieri, Alessandro Del Piero, and Paolo Maldini featured prominently, with Vieri continuing to shine as the team's main striker after an impressive World Cup performance.

This shirt symbolizes Italy's post-World Cup rebuilding phase, as they prepared for future international competitions, and features the classic design associated with Italian football elegance.
