Italy 2008 Nat.Team Away kit
The Italian national football team (Nazionale italiana di Calcio) is the national association football team of Italy, nominated Squadra Azzurra, Gli Azzurri and is governed by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio ("Italian Football Federation"). They are the current World Champions, having won the most recent FIFA World Cup.Italy is among the top teams in international football and the second most successful national team in World Cup play, having won four World Cups (1934, 1938, 1982, 2006), just one fewer than Brazil. To this tally they can add one European championship (1968), and one Olympic Gold Medal (1936).The traditional colour of the national team (as well as of all Italian teams and athletes but in motor sports) is light blue (azzurro, in Italian), and therefore national team members are nicknamed Azzurri.
