The new Cremonese striker will be officially unveiled on Wednesday, September 10th at 3:30 PM. The event will not be open to the public.
A truly “StradiVardyana” presentation is being prepared for the striker who famously led Leicester City to the Premier League title in 2016, and is now poised for his highly anticipated debut in Serie A. On Wednesday, September 10th, at 3:30 PM, the prestigious Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium in Cremona will host the official unveiling of Jamie Vardy, as he prepares to proudly wear the grey and red shirt of Cremonese. As anticipated, the event will not be open to the general public, a decision made in consideration of the venue`s intimate capacity, which is certainly not comparable to a football stadium.

From the Violin Museum…
Vardy`s initial glimpses in the city saw him posing inside the renowned Violin Museum, with these captivating images and a video featuring him and his wife Rebekah Vardy later shared on his Instagram profile. However, his next set of official photographs will be framed by the elegant, sinuous wooden curves of the city`s Auditorium—an architectural and musical marvel celebrated worldwide. This very stage typically resonates with the timeless notes of historical instruments crafted by legendary makers like Amati, Guarneri, and Stradivari. This Wednesday, however, it will echo with Jamie Vardy`s inaugural words as a Cremonese player.
…to the Auditorium
Following a season of acclaimed concerts and performances, including the esteemed Monteverdi Festival, the Auditorium—a vision brought to life by Cremonese patron Giovanni Arvedi—will now welcome the “sound notes” of the celebrated striker. Vardy`s arrival is seen as the crowning jewel of Cremonese`s transfer market, especially as the club currently sits proudly at the top of Serie A alongside giants Napoli and Roma. While no one, least of all Vardy himself, harbors illusions of a completely triumphant season, the city is undeniably basking in a moment of unexpected excitement. This enthusiasm is further fueled by the presence of one of the key figures from Claudio Ranieri`s unforgettable, title-winning Leicester campaign in 2016.
From StradiVialli to StradiVardy: Cremonese is confident they have found a new leader ready to inspire them to new heights and make them dream.
(Note: “StradiVialli” is a creative wordplay combining “Stradivari” – the legendary violin maker synonymous with Cremona – and “Vialli” – a revered former Italian footballer and coach. The phrase “StradiVardy” similarly merges “Stradivari” with Jamie Vardy`s name, playfully suggesting he is a prized and inspiring acquisition for the club.)
