ITALIA1990.COM
Welcome to Italia1990.com. The aim of this website is to examine and analyse every aspect of the 1990 FIFA World Cup, which was held in Italy between 8 June and 8 July 1990. The website is a long-term project and a work in progress, as previously published material will be regularly revised.
The website publishes everything worth to know not only about the World Cup tournament itself, but also its build-up, including the qualification stage. The website was launched in July 2016, and we estimate to complete the project by 2030. We will only begin publishing match reports from the 1990 World Cup tournament when all qualifiers have been covered.
With all qualifiers for the UEFA, CONMEBOL and Oceania sections covered, we are left with the CAF, AFC and CONCACAF zones. After a ‘board meeting’, we’ve decided to progress with the remaining three confederations simultaneously. This is contrary to previous work ethics, where we’ve covered one after another.
