[edit] Club career

Foggia started playing football at a young age for his local Neapolitan side Cral Banco di Napoli.[1] He was then spotted by Padova and spent some time in their youth system before briefly playing in AC Milan's youth team before being involved in two long-term co-ownership deals.

Professionally, he made his debut with Serie C1 side Treviso in 2000. Foggia played for three seasons with Treviso, gaining his first honour by helping the club to promotion into Serie B during 2003. A move to Serie A side Empoli followed, it was during the 2003–04 season that he made his first appearance at the top level of Italian football.

During the following two years Foggia was loaned out to gain more experience, first to Crotone and then to Ascoli where he spent the 2005–06 season in Serie A.

After a loan spell at Lazio in the summer of 2006, he was transferred to them permanently in January 2007 from AC Milan; the transfer deal involved Massimo Oddo moving in the opposite direction. He was sent on loan to Reggina the next day for the rest of the season.[2]

While on loan at Cagliari during the 2007–08 season that Foggia began to impress which is largely due to scoring two goals scored against Juventus.

[edit] International career

Foggia was also a member of the Italy national under-21 football team, making four appearances. After showing good form while on loan to Cagliari, he was called up for the Italy national football team, and made his senior international debut against Georgia on 13 October 2007.
