It is the first time at the European Championship that the players of Italy participate in the gesture of the activist movement that fights racism against people of color
Five players from Italy also knelt before the kick-off against Wales in support of Black Lives Matter, the activist movement born in the United States and committed to the fight against racism towards people of color. It is the first time during the European Championship for the Azzurri.

To make the gesture before the Italy-Wales on the lawn of the Olympic Stadium in Rome were Federico Bernardeschi, Andrea Belotti, Emerson Palmieri, Matteo Pessina and Rafael Toloi, while the other players from Italy did not participate. On the other hand, the entire Wales national team knelt down before the match, as had already happened in other matches.
