DESCRIPTION OF CAPTAIN: The Captain of the Italian National Team is selected through the number of games played in Azzurro by each player that is in the starting line-up of each game. The player who played most games in Azzurro will receive the band of Captain for that match. For statistical purposes only the Captain that started the game as such is considered, this means that any other player who receives the band of Captain with the game underway as a result of the substitution of the original Captain, will not be listed as captain.
