Netcam secured the rights to create Subbuteo products, with Giochi Preziosi SPA handling distribution in Italy.
Like the Other Markets Gioch Preziosi went down the Unlincesed Generic Teams Route covering the Predominant Italian club Colours before Moving into some Licence teams later down the line around 2016… A unique thing about the Italian Range is they Used the Champions League License much more than the Other Countries Distributors who really only used it for a Box Set and Accessories like a a Pitch etc… Gioch Preziosi used it for there Team range as well…
Also a key fact of the range is that The Italian Range Followed the Spanish Range in Adopting a More Modern “Pro” style Base unlike the Uk who stuck with the more traditional looking base.

The Modern Subbuteo range of teams is somewhat complex, with separate ranges for the UK, Spain, and Italy all going there own way. While there may be some overlap between them, I’ll do my best to not miss anything…
(I MUST STRESS THIS TASK ISN’T SIMPLE TO MANY COOKS AND ALL THAT SOME DISTRIBUTORS STAYED ON AND CONTINUED THERE RANGE AS IF NOTHING CHANGED IN REGARDS TO LONG SHORE TAKING OVER SO BASICALLY THIS IS ALL 2012-2020 THEN IN THE LONGSHORE SECTION IS 2020 ONWARDS… THIS MODERN RANGE IS SO HARD TO PIN DOWN…)
