Why is Italy not at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar?

Less than 12 months after beating England at Wembley to win the EURO 2020, Italy came crashing back down to Earth in March 2022. The Azzurri, who were tipped for a blockbuster showdown with Portugal in the World Cup playoffs after the pair finished as runners-up in their respective qualifying groups. However, the meeting could not come to pass with Roberto Mancini's side failing to surmount the first hurdle in the play-offs semi-finals against North Macedonia.

In what was expected to be a routine win, the likes of Marco Verratti and Giorgio Chiellini could not inspire their teammates to success, and as the underdogs secured passage to take on Portugal in the play-off final. They were eventually prevented from qualifying themselves as Fernando Santos will lead Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates to a win 2-0 in the encounter.

The result meant that Italy would miss out on a second successive World Cup, having also failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia after another dreadful qualification campaign.
