Last night, Italy faced a setback, losing 4-1 to Norway in a crucial match for World Cup 2026 qualification. Currently sitting second in their group, the Azzurri will need to go through playoffs at the end of March 2026 if they wish to compete in the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico next summer.
Details have emerged regarding potential opponents for Italy, which is placed in Pot 1 due to its 9th position in the FIFA rankings. As a top seed, the Italian team will likely face a team from Pot 4 in the semi-finals. This means that players like Donnarumma could have home matches against Romania, Sweden, Northern Ireland, or the losing team from the Wales vs. North Macedonia match in Group J. In the final, the venue will be determined by a draw, and they will hope to avoid Turkey, which may also be a top seed.
