The traditional and winning Azzurri shirt of the Italian team will celebrate 110 years of history this Wednesday (6).
The first time blue was present on Italy's shirt was in a match against Hungary. The match was played on January 6, 1911, in Milan. The color was adopted to honor the Royal House of Savoia.
Before debuting the blue shirt, Italy had already played two games in 1910, but played dressed in white. The fabric was cheaper compared to the other shades. The Italians beat France 6-2 and were defeated by Hungary 6-1.
Since then, the Italian team has only left aside the traditional blue on three other occasions.
The Supreme Court reaffirmed: citizenship is born with the person.
- New legal front opened
- Processes can still be filed.
- Individual assessment before any decision.
The first was in 1937, when the uniform became all black, the symbolic color of dictator Benito Mussolini's fascist government.
The second happened in 1959, when the team played in green in a friendly against Argentina.
The third was in October 2020, when Italy again used the green tone against Greece.
The winning Italian Azzurri shirt
Wearing the blue shirt, Italy won four World Cups (1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006). The Italian team also won a European Championship (1968) and a gold medal at the 1936 Olympic Games.
In addition to the glories, the Azzurri had their disappointments, such as not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The defeats in the finals of the 1970 and 1994 editions of the competition also remain in the memory of the Italians.
