About our Italy National Football Team news
Latest news on Italy national football team, the Azzurri: fixtures, results, squad, transfers, World Cup qualifying and FIGC updates.
Italy, known as gli Azzurri, are one of football's most decorated nations, with four FIFA World Cup titles (1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006) and two UEFA European Championship crowns (1968 and 2020). Controlled by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and based at the Centro Tecnico Federale di Coverciano in Florence, the team holds the world record of 37 consecutive matches without defeat, set between 2018 and 2021.
The Azzurri carry deep cultural weight in Italy, where football is a national passion. The iconic blue of the shirt traces back to the House of Savoy, and the team's matches regularly unite a nation across regional divides. The Euro 2020 triumph — claimed at Wembley in July 2021 — remains the defining high point for a generation of supporters, making the recent World Cup absences all the more painful.
Italy's history is one of both glory and heartbreak. The 1949 Superga air disaster wiped out most of the dominant Grande Torino side and cast a long shadow over the national team for years. More recently, missing the 2018 and 2022 World Cups prompted widespread debate about youth development in Italian football and the health of Serie A as a talent pipeline.
