Squadra means Squad and Azzura means Blue. So Squadra Azzura means Blue Squad, it's to represent the Italian national team.

Because that is the color of the National Team, called "Azzurri".
That is an historical tradition: before the creation of the Italian Republic, the Italian Regal Family (Savoia) had color "azzurro" (kind of blue) in their flag and that color was adopted by the soccer National Team to respect the Regal tradition.
Since then the color has been kept in the Italian shirt, even though it is not a color present in their National flag (green, white, red).

The Italy national football team is one of the most successful national football teams, having won three World Cups. The traditional jersey color of the national team (as well as of all Italian teams and athletes, but in motor sports) is light blue (azzurro, in Italian), and therefore national team members are nicknamed Azzurri.
