the Azzurri / the Italian team
Azzurri are well-known in the world so any reader who knows something about football would understand quite easily; however, if you want to be certain to be understood, you can specify what you mean:
" ...the Azzurri, the Italian team, ..."
" ...the Azzurri, the Italian team, ..."
