Marco Materazzi, Italian orders of merit, (born August 19, 1973 in Lecce) is an Italy football (soccer) defender (football), who currently plays for Serie A club F.C.

He was a part of the Italy national football team that won the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where in the final against France he scored a goal and later was headbutted by Zinedine Zidane, after having provoked him.

He also featured prominently in Italy's World Cup Final game against France national football team, first conceding the penalty that put France ahead, then scoring a headed equaliser from a Andrea Pirlo corner kick.

On September 5 Materazzi admitted that he did indeed insult Zidane's sister. In an interview with Materazzi, he revealed the comment he made to Zidane. "I replied to Zidane that I would prefer his sister, that is true. I brought up his sister and that wasn't a nice thing, that is true". Furthermore, Materazzi claimed that he did not even know Zidane had a sister. Some time later, Materazzi made a public statement of inviting Zidane to his home for a dinner between peers, as an effort to bury the hatchet. He jocularly added that his only condition was that Zidane make good on his offer of the jersey. In August 2007 Materazzi confessed in "Sorrisi e Canzoni" that he indeed referred to Zidane's sister a prostitute.
