Every year on 27 January, the FIGC commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day, honouring the victims of the Shoah. The Federation has launched a communication campaign on the official website and social media channels, featuring empty seats in a stadium, intending to first remember the victims on the day when, 81 years ago, the Auschwitz concentration camp, one of the symbols of the Holocaust, was liberated. But also aims to use Remembrance Day as a tool for education and awareness.

FIGC President Gabriele Gravina commented, “Remembering is not enough; there is an absolute need to stay aware of one of the greatest tragedies in human history. To know is to prevent, to fight, to protect, to respect. Football, with its social impact, can serve as a powerful platform to spread messages of profound significance, especially to younger generations, who did not experience this atrocity firsthand but have both the right and the duty to understand it.”
