Football players in Italy will be banned from wearing No. 88 as part of an initiative combating antisemitism, it was announced on Tuesday.
The No. 88 is a numerical code for "Heil Hitler"; H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.
In March, a fan wearing a Lazio shirt with the name "Hitlerson" and the No. 88 was banned for life from attending matches of the Roman club.
