The new jersey will make its debut this Wednesday when the Azzurri take on Copa America champions Argentina at Wembley.

Italy are gearing up for a highly-anticipated showdown with Argentina in the CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions. In the build-up to that showdown at Wembley, the Azzurri have unveiled their new home kit just in time for when Messi and Co. come rolling down the carpet.

Made by Puma, the shirt pays homage to the history of the European giants, one of the greatest footballing nations in the world. Four squares of alternating shades of blue can be seen, which is probably a tribute to the four FIFA World Cups won by the Azzurri.

"Timeless" was the word chosen by PUMA Football for this jersey, encapsulating a modern take on a retro look. With Adidas set to replace PUMA as Italy's kit manufacturers come 2023, this is a befitting farewell for the German corporation. Check out the new home kit in the pics below.

 

This shirt will make its debut this Wednesday in the Finalissima. Roberto Mancini's men will take on Argentina in this tie as the champions of Europe lock horns with the kings of South America for the CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions prize.

Jorginho and Co. recently missed out on FIFA World Cup qualification, suffering a shock defeat against North Macedonia that denied them a ticket to Qatar 2022. This means that for the second time running, FIFA's prestigious tournament will take place without its joint-second most successful nation.

Victory over the Copa America champions on Wednesday might temporarily ease that pain, but under Lionel Scaloni, the South Americans have been a tough side to beat. Lionel Messi got his hands on an international trophy for the first time last summer and will be keen on lifting another one this week, albeit an insignificant one.
