Italy - Belgium: Match preview
In spring 2026, Italy once again made history for all the wrong reasons. The team failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the third consecutive time. It was a historic failure for Italy. They were eliminated by Bosnia and Herzegovina on penalties. After that, Italy played two friendly matches and won both: 1:0 against Luxembourg and 1:0 against Greece. As for the Nations League, in the previous edition the team reached the League A playoffs, but lost both matches to Germany by an aggregate score of 4:5.
Belgium faced Italy in the previous UEFA Nations League campaign. They collected just four points from six matches and finished third. Belgium then played in the relegation playoffs, where they beat Ukraine 4:3 on aggregate over two matches. However, they went on to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and performed very well at the tournament itself. The team reached the playoffs, progressed through the Round of 32 and the Round of 16, but lost 1:2 to Spain in the quarter-finals. A very good result for the team.
