Esposito family makes history with Italy, three brothers in the Azzurri shirt
The Esposito family experienced an extraordinary day as Sebastiano Esposito and Pio Esposito started for Italy against Türkiye, becoming the first brothers to start a match in the Azzurri shirt since 1915.
The achievement does not stop there, as the Esposito family has entered the history of the Italy national team by being the first family to have three of its members represent the senior team. Alongside Sebastiano and Pio, who are currently on the pitch, their older brother Salvatore Esposito previously wore the Italy jersey and participated in one international match.
Sebastiano Esposito added to the significance of the night after successfully scoring the third goal for the Italian national team against Türkiye, turning the historic occasion for his family into an unforgettable football moment, and adding his name to the international goalscorers' list in one of the standout matches of his career.
The Esposito family has written a rare chapter in the history of Italy: three brothers have worn the Azzurri shirt, with two of them starting together in the lineup for the first time in over a century. Meanwhile, Biagio's goal added an unforgettable touch to this family occasion.
