Coming soon, a grand tribute to the late legend.

Gigi Riva paid tribute by Cagliari in the first Serie A match played after the passing of Rombo di Tuono. In fact, the island club intends to show up at the Domus Arena against Torino in Friday night’s match, wearing a game uniform reminiscent of that of the historic 1970 Scudetto.

According to reports from Ansa, in fact, the request for permission è has already been submitted by Cagliari. The Rossoblù intend to return "white" for one night, with a jersey without sponsors and with only red and blue inserts as was the case in the years when Gigi Riva took the field. In addition, the stadium’s corners are preparing a special set design, on the details of which the strictest confidentiality still applies.

The initiatives taken by Cagliari società and also by the city itself are countless. The petition to transform Largo Carlo Felice into Largo Gigi Riva has exceeded two thousand signatures, and a promise è also came from Tommaso Giulini: "We will dedicate the stadium to him. But above all, the constant effort of each of us to make the Cagliari jersey even more glorious".
