The museum was idealized around the time of the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, as part of the expansion of the Centro Tecnico Federale di Coverciano, on the initiative of Fino Fini, president of the Fondazione Museo del Calcio.

Among the memorabilia is also the shirt with which Silvio Piola made his national debut on 24 March 1935, against Austria, as well as the black jersey worn by Amedeo Biavati on 12 June 1938, the occasion of the World Cup quarter-final match against France.

In the second room is the crystal ball displayed at the inauguration of the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States, as well as a collection of historic pennants.

To commemorate the third World Cup victory, on display are the shirts of several players, as well as other objects such as the pipes of manager Enzo Bearzot and the then-president of Italy, Sandro Pertini.

The sixth room is dedicated to the fourth World Cup victory in 2006, as well as to the memorabilia of the champions who have joined the Italian Football Hall of Fame.
