Genoa CFC continue to build strong links between football and music. After honouring Frank Sinatra, a well-known supporter of Italy’s oldest club, last weekend, Il Grifone now connect with another major name from the music world: legendary British heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
The Serie A club showed no fear of the dark and shared a photo on social media showing Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris,a lifelong West Ham United fan, holding the Rossoblù shirt, a surprising and eye-catching collaboration to round off 2025. It is the latest example of Genoa’s ongoing approach to blending football with wider cultural references.
In recent years, the club has welcomed several well-known figures from the arts and entertainment world. British singer Rita Ora modelled Genoa’s 130th anniversary shirt, while wrestling icon The Undertaker featured in the launch of the club’s third kit last season.
Through these initiatives, Genoa CFC continue to present themselves as a modern and creative club, using social media to connect football with music, culture and a broader global audience.
