The 1968 Coppa Italia Final was a final group of the 1967–68 Coppa Italia. From 1968 to 1971, FIGC introduced a final group instead of semi-finals and finals. In the final group, four teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The matches were played from 13 to 30 June 1968. The group winner was Torino.

Background

Coppa Italia began in 1922, although the first edition didn't include the best teams and the tournament would, after one edition, pause until 1926 when it was reintroduced only to be abandon before finished. In 1935, however, the tournament was more successfully arranged, but after seven editions it would halt due to the Second World War. It was not resumed until 1958, but has thereafter remained as a prestigious competition in Italian football for many decades.[1]
