About Reno
Born in Melbourne to an Italian father and a Maltese mother, Reno Piscopo began his football career in his hometown before travelling to Italy to join the esteemed Inter Milan youth academy.
Piscopo remained in Milan for six years and earned multiple selections to the Italian youth sides before joining fellow Italian side Torino in 2017.
In search of wider opportunities to gain first team football action, Piscopo left Torino the same year to join Renate, a team playing in the lower divisions of Italian football. After making his league debut as a substitute in a 3-0 home victory, Piscopo became a recurring face in the Renate first team setup.
In 2019, Piscopo announced a return to the A-League, with the now 23-year-old joining the Wellington Phoenix. From New Zealand, Piscopo has earned multiple call-ups to the Australian youth teams. He would later continue his career in the A-League after moving to the Newcastle Jets in 2022.
Reno would make his Olympic debut in Tokyo 2020 as part of the squad that travelled to the tournament. Despite their strong start defeating Argentina 2-0 in the opening game, the Olyroos did not qualify for the tournament's knockout stage after defeats to Spain and Egypt.
