Meet your Legend

MARCO MATERAZZI

Marco Materazzi is a name that echoes through the halls of football history. Known for his fierce defending, unbreakable spirit, and larger-than-life personality, Materazzi is the ultimate warrior of the pitch. Standing tall at 6’4″, Marco made a career of dominating strikers, delivering crunching tackles, and scoring crucial goals—especially in the air, where he was practically unstoppable.

During his time with Inter Milan, Materazzi won it all: five Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia titles, and the crown jewel, the UEFA Champions League in 2010 under José Mourinho’s unforgettable treble-winning side. But Materazzi’s fame doesn’t end there—he’ll forever be remembered for his role in Italy’s 2006 World Cup victory, where his crucial goals and no-nonsense defending helped lead the Azzurri to the ultimate prize.

Off the pitch, Materazzi is just as iconic. Known for his fiery personality and never-back-down attitude, he’s a larger-than-life figure with stories that will have you glued to your seat. Whether it’s lifting the World Cup, winning the treble, or that infamous moment with Zidane, Materazzi’s career is filled with moments that shaped football history.

Ready to meet the gladiator himself? This is your chance to hear the stories, feel the passion, and share the field with a true football legend.

SO much more than a trip

Can’t recommend Looking FC enough!

Looking FC is doing something really special here. To bring people to football, through the lenses of the local community and to experience football as so much more than just the game has been an experience of a lifetime. The Looking FC team has been amazing from start to finish- responsive, helpful, accommodating, personable. The local guides they work with on the ground were phenomenal and were honestly what made our trip. This was SO much more than just a trip to “watch a match”.
