Italy

As one of the founding members, Italy has been a pillar of the competition since its inception, showcasing a unique blend of tactical discipline and timeless passion. Led by their captain Luca, who has been a steadfast leader from the very beginning, they have become a team defined by their grit,  and adaptability.

Italy’s style of play is a nod to their rich footballing heritage. When the situation demands it, they masterfully deploy the catenaccio—a defensive system that locks down results and frustrates opponents. Yet, this team is far from one-dimensional. They are equally capable of delivering an exciting, attacking brand of football that surprises rivals and delights fans. Their retro kits further underline their connection to the golden eras of Italian football, adding a touch of timeless elegance to their presence on the pitch.

Despite their remarkable consistency, the ultimate trophy has eluded Italy in the first three seasons of the tournament (2022-2024). They have come agonizingly close, finishing as runners-up multiple times. No team has climbed the podium as often, earning them the moniker of “champions of second place.” However, their reliability is unmatched; you can confidently bet that Italy will be in the final stages, even if it’s not always clear how they’ll get there.

Italy’s track record is studded with memorable victories and hard-fought battles. They lead the historical rankings after three years of competition, a testament to their sustained excellence and ability to perform when it matters most. Their mix of defensive solidity, tactical intelligence, and flashes of attacking brilliance ensures they remain a favorite to finally claim the title.

With their deep-rooted passion, methodical approach, and an uncanny ability to adapt to any situation, Italy is a team that commands respect. As they look ahead to future seasons, fans and rivals alike know one thing for certain: Italy will always be there, standing tall among the best, ready to fight for glory.
