Explaining Italy's qualification status

It's currently 2025, and Italy is in the midst of qualification following their absence from the last two World Cups. Baggio is hopeful that they’ll qualify this time. I could offer a concise overview of this situation and ask if the user would like more details. I'll make sure to keep my response friendly and comply with guidelines, while avoiding any claims about real-time events past my last update in October 2024. Would that work?
