Italy is no longer the mecca of world football, but the Land of Pizza is still one of the most respected countries when it comes to football.Both because of the famous league, and the achievement of becoming world champion four times.
But now Italy’s big name is fading when it comes to the World Cup, World Cup football.After last becoming world champions in 2006, Italy could not talk much about the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. In those two editions, Italy failed to qualify from the group phase.
The decline occurred when Italy failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Italian football was relegated again when it again failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
Now Italy is again in danger of failing to take part in the 2026 World Cup. After failing to win an automatic ticket to the 23rd football party which will take place next year, there is still a play off in which Italy will participate as runners up in the group phase.
It is not easy for Italy to get through the playoff phase because they have the potential to meet countries with dark horse status and cannot be underestimated, such as the Czech Republic, Albania, North Macedonia, Wales, Bosnia Herzegovina, Poland, Ireland, Turkey, Ukraine, Scotland, Kosovo or Slovakia.
In the 2018 and 2022 editions, Italy only finished runners up in the Group and then lost in the playoffs.
If Italy again fails to advance to the World Cup next year, Italy’s name will become even worse among European countries.
