Squadra Azzurra EA Sports FC 26: Complete Objective Guide
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
