The whole of Italian football united in a historic gesture of respect after the death of Livio Berruti, one of Italy's most famous athletes who brought honor to the country in Rome 1960. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to sports, the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC), in accordance with the call of CONI, ordered that all official matches from August 14 to 17, 2026 will begin with a minute's silence. Berruti became the center of attention in the first matches of the trentadós of the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa. At the Franchi Stadium, before the start of Fiorentina's battle against Benevento, and at the U-Power Stadium for the face-off between Monza and Avellino, the players of the two teams approached the center of the field. They stood arm in arm, bowed — paying tribute not only as footballers but as athletes of the entire country.

This scene bridges the gap between the worlds of football and athletics. The silence was filled with emotion—reminiscing was allowed before the usual noise of fans and goal shouts. This minute is not only one of tradition but an important reminder of the history that Berruti wrote in the 200-meter sprint in which he defeated the distinguished Americans in 1960. With his iconic black glasses and his simple but elegant running, he served as an inspiration not only to his generation but to the next Italian athletes. Although Berruti passed away on August 9, 2026 at the age of 87, the lesson and memory of his success remain—that in every unity, every effort, and every run there is a story of victory to offer to the people. Because of this, the football community has chosen to dedicate the first tuto of the whistle as a tribute, not just for a match but for a legend that has become part of Italy's national recognition around the world. Before normal competition returns, everyone is briefly united in one goal—to honor a man who shaped history. In this year's Coppa Italia, before hearing the shouts of victory and tribute to the teams again, the entire football Italian first came together in silent prayer and remembrance of Livio Berruti.

What's next

From August 14 to 17, 2026, all official matches in Italy, including Coppa Italia matches, will begin with a minute's silence. Teams like Fiorentina and Benevento will continue to pay tribute to Berruti in their next matches. This action aims to remind the values of respect and unity in the world of sports.
