About the Italy national team
The Italy national team, nicknamed "the Azzurri," is governed by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), founded in 1898. Four-time world champions, the team stunned the football world by failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Trophy roll
- World Cup: 1934, 1938, 1982, 2006
- European Championship: 1968, 2020
Legendary players
- Giuseppe Meazza — the star of the 1934 and 1938 world titles.
- Paolo Rossi — top scorer of the 1982 World Cup, won by Italy.
- Fabio Cannavaro — captain of the 2006 world title, Ballon d'Or winner the same year.
- Gianluigi Buffon — one of the greatest goalkeepers in history, a 2006 world champion.
World Cup
Italy have won the World Cup four times: 1934 and 1938 (under Vittorio Pozzo), then 1982 and 2006. The 2026 edition will be remembered for the Azzurri's absence, eliminated in qualifying after a 3-0 defeat to Norway in June 2025 — an elimination mocked by FIFA president Gianni Infantino during the tournament.
European Championship
Italy have also won the Euros twice, in 1968 and in 2020 (played in 2021 due to the pandemic), the latter marking the team's return to the top of world football.
FIFA ranking
Despite their 2026 qualifying failure, Italy remain one of the historic powers of football in the FIFA World Ranking.
