Superstition plays a major role in Italian football culture

In Italian football culture, superstition plays a significant role for millions of fans, particularly during decisive moments of a season. Beyond tactical formations and professional players, an invisible battle against bad luck occurs through various rituals.

Common practices include wearing specific clothing, such as a particular jersey, scarf, or socks, that is believed to bring luck if worn during a victory. Fans also maintain strict seating habits, often insisting on watching matches from the exact same spot on a sofa or in a specific location to preserve a winning streak.
