Upon Italy’s return home, furious fans threw fruit and rotten tomatoes at their transport bus at the airport. In a highly political season of Italian football, to rival the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC) organised Prima Categoria, Italy’s richest clubs organised the 1921-22 Prima Divisione. All the teams were from 1921-22 C.C.I. The first tier of Italian football is Serie A, which is governed by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A and is made up of 20 teams. At the fourth tier is Serie D, a league of nine parallel divisions (in which the clubs are divided by geographical location) that is organised by the Dipartimento Interregionale of the Lega Nazionale Dilettanti. When you step out in your gothic attire, remember that you are making a statement. It consists of nine national and regional tournaments, the first three being professional, while the remaining six are amateur, set up by the Italian Football Federation. On 4 August 2016, Hernandez extended his contract until 2021, being immediately loaned to fellow league club Deportivo Alavés for one year.

Being one of the host nations, Italy played all three group games at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico, and it became the first team in European Championship history to win each group stage match without conceding. The national team won the inaugural Women’s Gold Cup in late June, which was the CONCACAF Women’s Championship. Bologna qualified for the National Finals. Portland faced the higher-seeded Seattle in the 2018 Western Conference Semifinals in another two-game series, forcing the Sounders into a dramatic tie on aggregate in extra time in their home stadium and subsequently advancing to the Conference Finals on penalty kicks. Italy lost 4-3 on penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw after extra time. 2012-13 saw the club finish fourth, a dramatic improvement on the previous season, but lost the promotion play-off final to Livorno over two legs. On 7 May 2006, Sneijder was in the starting line-up for Ajax in the KNVB Cup final, setting up Klaas-Jan Huntelaar’s opening goal in a 2-1 win over PSV at the De Kuip stadium in Rotterdam. In the round of 16, Italy secured a 1-0 victory over Australia with Francesco Totti scoring a penalty.

After drawing on aggregate 2-2, the Colchoneros went on to win the deciding penalty shoot-out 3-2. On 22 April, with five games to spare, Inter were mathematically confirmed as Serie A champions for the twentieth time in their history after defeating second-placed and city rivals AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, earning the second star above their badge. FIFA named seven Italian players – Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Gianluca Zambrotta, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Francesco Totti and Luca Toni – to the 23-man tournament All Star Team. They won their opening match of the tournament against the United States, but subsequent defeats to Egypt and Brazil meant that they finished third in the group on goals scored (points level with the US and Egypt), and were eliminated. In his two-and-a-half years in the Roma dugout, Garcia recorded 60 wins, 32 draws and 22 defeats in 114 matches. Roma could not get back on terms, and Milan were soon back on the attack and celebrating their third goal as Ibrahimović headed in a cross by Aquilani into the bottom left-hand corner of the goal. Three days later, the last match of the Champions League group stage against Real Sociedad ended in a goalless draw, with the Basque side qualifying for the round of 16 as group winners thanks to the better goal difference and Inter finishing second place.

At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, reigning champions Italy were unexpectedly eliminated in the first round, finishing last place in their group. Italy did manage to beat Uruguay in the third place play-off. Italy qualified for their first ever FIFA Confederations Cup held in South Africa in June 2009 by virtue of winning the 2006 World Cup. They achieved their second title in 1938 in a 4-2 defeat of Hungary, with two goals by Gino Colaussi and two goals by Silvio Piola in the World Cup that followed. After a 1-0 win against Norway in East Rutherford and a 1-1 draw with Mexico at the RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., Italy advanced from Group E based on goals scored among the four teams tied on points. Eight days later, on 22 September, Milito scored his first goals of the season in a 4-0 win against nearly promoted club Bari at San Siro, helping the team to reach in top of the league. French captain Zinedine Zidane opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the seventh minute before Marco Materazzi scored from a corner kick, twelve minutes later. Inter, however, again failed to secure the championship, losing their lead twice and ultimately settling for a 2-2 draw, with Marco Materazzi failing to convert a penalty in the dying stages of the match.
