"Embroidered prize-robe" is the English equivalent of the Italian word palio, which if capitalized designates the famous horse races held bi-annually in Siena, Italy. The pronunciation will be "PA-lyo" for both words in Italian.

The Il Palio di Siena is a horse race held twice a year, in July, then again in August. It happens in the Tuscan city of Siena.
The Palio of Siena (Palio di Siena) is held every year on July 2nd and August 16th. This year, 2009, a third Palio might be run sometimes in September (Palio straordinario). The date will be officialised later in Febraury. For more information please visit www.palio.org/ www.jacopodellatorre.com/
There are two Palios in Siena each year. In 2009, on July 2nd, the Palio was won by Contrada della Tartuca (turtle); on August 16th, the Palio was won by Contrada della Civetta (owl).
I don't see the relationship with soccer, but anyway... The July 2010 Palio in Siena was won by "Contrada della Selva" (Forest).
