Football Italia

Italy is one of the world's leading football nations.

The Italian national football team, called the "Azzurri"  (the 'blues', for their blue shirts), are one of the most winning National teams, having won the World Cup four times, and 27 major European trophies.

Football was first introduced to northern Italy in the late 19th century by mainly Swiss and English expatriates . The first matches were played in Genoa, Milan and Turin. One of the first clubs to be exclusively dedicated to this new sport was Internazionale Torino in Turin.
