Italy Sets New World Record with Unbeaten 37-Match Streak


Italia made history once again this month when they became the winningest team in UEFA history.

Italia aka The Azzurri aka The Blues have been winning since Oct. 10, 2018.

In fact, the unstoppable Italians set a new world record for longest international unbeaten run after a 0-0 draw against Switzerland on Sept. 5.

On Sept. 8 they pushed the streak to 37 after shutting out Lithuania 5-0.

The epic three-year run eclipsed the previous record shared by Brazil and Spain (35).

The new record comes just months after Italia’s heart-stopping 2-1 win against England on June 14 at Wembley Stadium during the UEFA Euro 2020 Championship.
