AC Milan is delighted to reveal the first three strikers inducted into the AC Milan Hall of Fame presented by Emirates: Marco van Basten, Andriy Shevchenko, and Filippo Inzaghi. These legendary players were selected through a global fan vote, celebrating their extraordinary contributions to the Club's history and the values they represent both on and off the pitch.
Joining AC Milan's Honorary Vice President Franco Baresi, the Hall of Fame's inaugural inductee, these iconic forwards symbolise excellence and the indelible mark they have left on AC Milan. Each has played a pivotal role in shaping the Rossoneri legacy, representing a golden era of triumphs and unforgettable moments.
To honour their achievements, Van Basten, Inzaghi, and Baresi will be celebrated in a special ceremony at the San Siro ahead of the AC Milan vs. Genoa match on 15 December – the pinnacle of the Club's 125th Anniversary celebrations. Each inductee will also receive a bespoke trophy crafted by Tiffany & Co., symbolising the prestige of their place in AC Milan's storied history. While Andriy Shevchenko will not be able to attend the ceremony due to personal commitments, he will be honoured on the pitch of the San Siro stadium at a later date.
The AC Milan Hall of Fame presented by Emirates, launched earlier this year as part of the Club's 125th Anniversary celebrations, recognises individuals who have significantly shaped the Rossoneri's illustrious history. Following a meticulous fan-driven voting process, van Basten, Shevchenko, and Inzaghi emerged as the first strikers to receive this prestigious honour, embodying the passion, excellence, and commitment that define AC Milan.
This milestone initiative, supported by Emirates, reflects AC Milan's dedication to preserving its legacy and inspiring future generations. With additional positions set to be inducted in the years to come, the AC Milan Hall of Fame serves as a lasting tribute to the Club's rich history and global impact.
Fans worldwide can join the celebrations and experience the unveiling of these historic moments on 15 December, when AC Milan will commemorate its 125th Anniversary and honour the legends who have helped build the Rossoneri's legacy.
