In brief

The Squadra Azzurra objective in EA Sports FC 26 is a FUT series completable in just three strategically ordered matches against the Italian team in Squad Battles. By following the optimal approach, you'll unlock eight cascading objectives and walk away with a Maldini loan plus valuable pack rewards.

The Squadra Azzurra objective in FC 26 is a FUT series centered around facing an Italian team featured in Squad Battles. Eight sub-objectives need to be unlocked, but by tackling them in the right order, you can clear everything in three matches and walk away with Maldini on loan.

Match 1 - Beginner: score exactly 30 goals

Start a match against the Squadra Azzurra in Squad Battles on Beginner difficulty. The objective is to score exactly 30 goals - no more, no less. Going over this threshold would cause the game to crash, so be careful!

This single match unlocks four objectives in a cascade:

  • Pizzica - 15 goals scored
  • Tarantella - 20 goals scored
  • Saltarello - 25 goals scored
  • Trescone - exactly 30 goals scored

Keep an eye on the live score. As you get closer to 30, slow down, even if it means letting the clock run out rather than risking an accidental 31st goal.

Match 2 - Legendary: win without conceding

The second match is played on Legendary difficulty. The condition: concede no goals and win the match. This clean sheet earns the Catenaccio objective, but it also completes the Professional and World Class win objectives along the way, which only require a win at their respective difficulty (Legendary being higher than both).

Note

So a single match covers three objectives. Play with an organized defense, manage the tempo, and avoid getting caught out on the counter.

Match 3 - Ultimate: concede 3 goals maximum

Final match, on Ultimate difficulty. Here, the constraint is defensive but less strict: you must concede 3 goals or fewer during the match. This is the Difesa objective - you don't need to win, just finish the match without collapsing defensively.

Full rewards breakdown

By completing all eight objectives via this three-match method, you'll accumulate:

  • 1 of 3 83+ Gold Rare Players
  • 1 of 3 84+ Gold Rare Players
  • 1 of 3 85+ Gold Rare Players
  • 1 of 3 86+ Gold Rare Players
  • 1 of 3 87+ Gold Rare Players
  • 1 of 3 88+ Gold Rare Players
  • 2 of 5 86+ Player Pick
  • 2 of 10 86+ Gold Rare Pick

Once the full series is completed, two final rewards are added: Base Maldini on loan for 20 matches and a 2 of 6 89+ Gold Rare Players Picks.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I score more than 30 goals in the first match?
Going over 30 goals causes the game to crash, so it's crucial to keep an eye on your score in real time and slow down your attacking pace as you approach the threshold.
Do I need to win every match to complete the objectives?
No, only match 2 on Legendary difficulty requires a win combined with a clean sheet. Match 3 only requires acceptable defensive play (3 goals or fewer) with no obligation to win.
What are the final rewards at the end of the complete series?
You'll get a loan version of Maldini valid for 20 matches and a rare gold 89+ player pick (2 of 6), on top of all the packs accumulated throughout the eight objectives.
Why does the order of the matches matter?
This order lets you complete several objectives with a single match: match 1 triggers four cascading objectives, match 2 triggers three, optimizing your progression.

Key takeaways

  • Score exactly 30 goals in match 1 on Beginner difficulty to complete four cascading objectives (watch out for a crash if you go over 30).
  • Win without conceding in match 2 on Legendary difficulty to cover three objectives in one go: Catenaccio, Professional win, and World Class.
  • Concede 3 goals maximum in match 3 on Ultimate difficulty to finish the series without needing to win.
  • The strategic order of matches lets you complete all eight objectives in three matches instead of around ten.
