Totti

Francesco Totti, commonly known simply as Totti, is an Italian former professional footballer who spent almost his entire career with AS Roma. Born in Rome on 27 September 1976, he progressed through Roma’s youth system and made his first-team debut in 1993 at age 16. Over 24 seasons with the club, he became Roma’s all-time top scorer in competitive matches and its record appearance maker, with 307 goals in 786 official games. A versatile forward and playmaker, he was noted for his technical skill, vision, and leadership, and helped Roma win the Serie A title in 2000-01 along with multiple domestic trophies.

On the international stage, Totti earned 58 caps for Italy and scored 9 goals. He represented Italy at Euro 2000 and Euro 2004, and captained the national team to victory at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

After retiring from playing in 2017, Totti remained associated with Roma in a non-playing capacity, contributing to the club’s operations and strategy. He is widely regarded as one of Roma’s greatest ever players and a symbolic figure in Italian football.
