In 2024 for the home game against Cagliari towards the end of the season, Milan launched the initiative of the players wearing their mothers’ maiden names on the backs of the shirts. This was replicated last season for the game against Bologna.
The club have confirmed that – for the third consecutive year – Milan will celebrate Mother’s Day by keeping the tradition going.
On Sunday 10 May, the men’s and women’s first teams will wear their mothers’ maiden names on the back of their shirts, in AC Milan vs. Atalanta in Serie A at San Siro and in AC Milan Women vs. Parma at the PUMA House of Football.
The initiative will also feature during the official line-up announcements. Milan Futuro and the men’s Primavera squad will be involved, while the U8s teams will be accompanied onto the pitch by their mothers ahead of kick-off.
The Mondo Milan Museum will once again take part in the initiative. A portion of the proceeds from tickets purchased for museum visits on the day of AC Milan v Atalanta – both online and at the Casa Milan box office – will go towards supporting Fondazione Milan’s projects.
To mark the occasion, Banco BPM – the official bank of Milan, women’s team shirt sponsor and match sponsor of AC Milan vs. Atalanta – will set up a stand outside San Siro in collaboration with AIRC (Italian Association for Cancer Research), where fans will be able to support oncological research through a donation.
