Rossi is a self-proclaimed die-hard fan of Internazionale, popularly known as Inter Milan.

When Rossi won the MotoGP World Championship in 2008 and 2009, Inter Milan officially congratulated their most famous fan. Rossi has been spotted at the San Siro cheering for his favorite club in Serie A matches.

However, in a 2008 interview, Rossi admitted that he was a fan of Sampdoria early on and switched loyalties to support the Nerazzurri only after legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo joined them.

Rossi repaid the compliment given to him by Inter Milan when they won the UEFA Champions League in 2010, as he sent them a congratulatory message.
