What is The Nazionale Piloti?

The Nazionale Piloti was founded in 1981 with a simple idea, bringing racing drivers together through football to raise money for charity. What started as a one-off initiative quickly grew into a long-running tradition, with drivers using their profile to support important causes around the world.

Over time, the team has included some of the biggest names in motorsport, with drivers from different eras taking part in matches across the globe. This the likes of Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, Pierre Gasly, Oliver Bearman and Isack Hadjar. Legends to have played for the team over the years include Michael Schumacher, Jean Alesi, Giancarlo Fisichella, Felipe Massa, Daniil Kvyat, Sebastian Vettel and the icon, Ayrton Senna.

When did Senna play for the team?

Ayrton Senna is widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in Formula One history. A three-time World Champion, his legacy is defined by exceptional skill, determination and a lasting impact on sport. He lent his talents to a charity football game in 1992 held at the Adriatic Stadium in Pescara ahead of the Italian Grand Prix. The game saw the F1® drivers face a local selection of football figures, coaches and personalities, ending in a 4–4 draw.

Senna played in midfield and was heavily involved throughout. He scored during the match, helping his side secure the draw and to add to the significance, would go on to win the Italian Grand Prix.

Unlike modern kits, the uniforms in these matches were used for multiple matches played throughout the years. This remarkable piece belonged to a founding member of The Nazionale Piloti, who had it signed by Ayrton Senna and kept it in their collection for decades, until now. It is offered framed for display - belonging as much in a curated gallery as it once did on the pitch.

Design & Heritage

Featuring a distinctive team identity with clear nods to its dual football and motorsport heritage, such as the central logo of a steering wheel with a ball in the middle; this jersey is unmistakably Italian in design. The classic Diadora branding reflects a period where calcio captured the imagination of fans across the globe.

Even more special is the clear signature of Ayrton Senna, elevating this into a truly elite level of collectable. While Formula 1® was the arena for Senna, football was also part of his heritage. In South America, football is not just a game, it is part of national spirit.

Ahead of the Canadian GP in 1990, Senna said of the Brazil National Football Team, "it’s impossible not to support the team. The World Cup moves the spirit of every single Brazilian." Immediately after winning the 1994 World Cup Final, the Brazil National Football team dedicated the tournament and victory to Senna, proudly parading a banner reading: 'Senna, we accelerated together, the fourth (championship) is ours!'"
