Hello guys, I am new here... long story short: I lived in US and bought a 09 Forester, now I live in Europe. So no CPO waranty here.

Few days ago I discovered my reverse lights don't work.
I don't know how it could happen, I have barely 8000miles on the odo.

All lights are working except the reverse lights.
I check the fuses and they are OK, the bulbs are OK too.
I also get power to the fuse box.

I have AT.

It sounds like it might be something associated with the switch. I don't have any experience with 2009 ATs, but I'd look for something in the vicinity of the shift lever. A loose connector, a misaligned switch, or even a bad switch.

U.S. Subaru warranty does not transfer anywhere but Canada. Do you by chance have a trailer hitch/harness? If so, check that first. I've seen them short out and cause lighting issues.
