The Pepito Day will be a special event dedicated to Giuseppe Rossi, the Italian football talent, who will say goodbye to professional football on March 22 with a match featuring numerous past champions in one of the stadiums that marked his career: the Franchi in Florence.

The day of sports and entertainment will begin at 4:00 PM with a youth tournament, followed by the main match at 6:00 PM, where Giuseppe Rossi's former teammates will take the field to celebrate his extraordinary career. The Pepito friendly match will bring to the Franchi legends such as Gabriel Omar Batistuta, Sir Alex Ferguson, Luca Toni, Borja Valero, Sebastian Frey, Antonio Cassano, and many more!

With a special focus on younger generations and Florentine traditions, the event will also feature performances by Street Clerks, the famous Florentine rock band, as well as the Historic Parade of the Florentine Republic and an exhibition of Calcio Storico Fiorentino.
