Austria and Italy UEFA Euros Tournament Record
The Austrian national team aspires to make their mark on the international stage. Their achievements are far from paralleling Italy's, yet Austria has developed into a serious opponent in recent tournaments.
Austria participated in a European Championship for the first time at Euro 2008, qualifying automatically as hosts. They’ve since become regulars, qualifying with ease for Euro 2024 after taking part at both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020.
On the other side of the pitch stands Italy, one of the most successful nations in the history of international football. They’ve won four World Cups and two European Championship trophies – in 1968 and, more recently, beating England in a penalty shoot-out in the Euro 2020 final. The Azzurri's illustrious history, featuring legends like Paolo Maldini and Roberto Baggio, lends an air of grandeur to every match.
Austria vs Italy Head to Head
Austria and Italy crossed paths for the first time in a European Championship at Euro 2020. The round of 16 clash proved to be a dramatic encounter, with eventual champions Italy securing a 2-1 victory after 120 minutes of action.
In the FIFA World Cup, the two teams have met four times, with the Azzurri emerging victorious on all four occasions. Austria claimed a 2-0 victory in an international friendly match in Vienna in November 2022 to end a 50-year winless streak against the Italians. It will give them plenty of encouragement ahead of their next encounter on the big stage.
