Gianluca Zambrotta

Gianluca Zambrotta last appearance for the Italian U-23 side was against Nigeria's Dream Team in the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games football  tournament after winning 13 caps there. He started in games against Australia and Honduras that Italy won 1–0 and 3–1 respectively. 

Since Italy had already qualified for the quarter finals, the coach put Zambrotta on the bench for the last game against Nigeria and brought him on at the 80th minute. Italy was defeated by Spain, who would go on to win the silver medal, by one goal in the quarter final in a game Zambrotta sat out.
