Italy approaches the 2026 World Cup determined to reclaim its place at the top of world football. After missing 2018 and 2022, the Azzurri aim to restore their historic prestige and prove they remain a powerhouse. Their signature mix of tactical discipline, defensive strength, and technical flair continues to define their identity.
Italy’s World Cup history includes four titles (1934, 1938, 1982, 2006) and unforgettable moments that shaped football history. Icons such as Dino Zoff, Paolo Rossi, Roberto Baggio, Andrea Pirlo, and Gianluigi Buffon built the Azzurri’s legacy with elegance and determination.
In 2026, Italy presents a blend of youth and experience, anchored by new talents and a solid core. With leaders like Donnarumma and Barella, experts see them as a dangerous contender, capable of rising again and surprising anyone with their resilience and unique style.
