The Premio Nazionale Carriera Esemplare "Gaetano Scirea" is a recognition dedicated to footballers over the age of 30 playing in Italy's Serie A. Established in 1992, the prize is awarded annually for their playing ability and sportsmanship by the Unione Stampa Sportiva Italiana (Italian Sports Press Union) or USSI.
History
The recognition was created in honour of Italian defender Gaetano Scirea, who died in a car crash on 3 September 1989. The prize is awarded annually to a footballer over the age of 30 in the Italian Serie A, who, like Scirea, has stood out throughout their career both for their playing ability and sportsmanship.
