Italy’s 2022/2023 football season saw them finish third in the UEFA
Nations League after topping a tough group that included England, Germany, and
Hungary. Despite missing out on the 2022 World Cup, the Azzurri bounced back
with strong performances in Euro 2024 qualifiers, including a solid win over
Malta. Emerging talents like Federico Dimarco and Giacomo Raspadori played key
roles, with Dimarco scoring Italy’s 1,500th goal in international history. Puma
released a special “statement” jacket during this period, featuring a bold design and marked the final collaboration
before Adidas took over the national team kits. Italy’s Nations
League bronze meant they finished on the podium for a second consecutive
edition, proving their resilience despite recent setbacks.
