Italy 2027 World Cup qualification campaigns

Overview

In early July 2026, Italy’s men’s basketball team entered a crucial stage of the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifiers. Leading Group D with seven points (3-1), Coach Marco Ramondino opted for a 12-player roster that omitted Luca Severini and Luca Vincini to focus on containing Iceland’s star forward, Hlinason. The team traveled to Reykjavik for decisive matches at the Laugardalshöll arena, aiming to secure points that would carry into the second phase of qualification.

Italy’s cricket side has made significant strides in their pursuit of the 2027 ODI World Cup. Following preparations at Rome’s Giulio Onesti Olympic Preparation Centre, the team competed in the final round of the ICC Challenge League in Tanzania from 7–19 August.

Italy successfully secured a place in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off by finishing at the top of Challenge League B. The team completed an undefeated five-match campaign in Dar es Salaam, highlighted by an eight-wicket victory over Tanzania. In that final match, Akash Waduwalage took 5 wickets for 21 runs, and a 121-run partnership between brothers Justin and AJ Mosca helped Italy chase the target. Alongside Uganda, Italy has progressed to the eight-team Qualifier Play-off, which will determine four teams for the main World Cup Qualifier.
