Italy — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Italy beat England on penalties at Wembley after a 1-1 draw to win their second European Championship. Italy has not qualified for a World Cup since 2014.
Italy's most recent major trophy is UEFA Euro 2020 (played in 2021 due to the pandemic), won in dramatic fashion on penalties against England at Wembley after a 1-1 draw — a result that denied England their first major trophy since 1966 while extending Italy's own reputation for tournament resilience. That triumph came as a surprise given Italy had failed to even qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but manager Roberto Mancini rebuilt the team around an attacking, high-pressing style that went unbeaten for 34 matches through the tournament. Italy's World Cup history is far more storied, with four titles — 1934, 1938, 1982, and 2006 — tied with Germany for the second-most of any nation behind Brazil. However, Italy's recent World Cup form has been unusually poor for a team of their pedigree: they failed to qualify for both the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, an almost unthinkable outcome for a country with their history.
