With four World Cups, two Euros, and five Ballon d'Ors, Italy are one of the greatest football nations in the world and one of the most successful national teams of all time. And yet, the Azzurri haven't played a World Cup knockout game in nearly 20 years, they haven't qualified for a World Cup in over 10 years, and following a 3-0 defeat against Norway, they're not guaranteed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at how Italy have gone from being universally feared to repeat failures, how the nation’s football infrastructure and institutions have been allowed to rot and crumble, and whether there is any way back for them.
