Italy has previously hosted the World Cup twice: first in 1934, where they won the tournament in its second edition, and again in 1990, when the Azzurri took home the bronze medal.

It’s significant that Italy will miss their third consecutive World Cup. The last time they participated was in Brazil in 2014, where they did not advance past the group stage.
