Italy’s national football squad suffered an unexpected defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the playoff final, thus failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
The Italian national team’s sensational loss occurred away against the Bosnian and Herzegovinian team in the final match of the European qualification playoffs for the 2026 World Cup, as reported by RIA “Novosti.”
The reaction from Italian supporters and pundits to this failure has been extremely harsh.
This marks the third occasion that the Italian national team has missed out on a World Cup appearance; their last participation was in 2014, and they reached the playoffs back in 2006.
