Luciano Spalletti’s Italy will travel to the United States in March for friendly matches against Venezuela and Ecuador.
The Azzurri have booked their spot in the coming European Championships in Germany, which kick off on June 14, and find themselves in Group B alongside Spain, Croatia and Albania.
Coming into Euro 2024 as defending champions, Spalletti and Italy know the pressure is on to put on a strong run in the tournament after the team’s failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
As announced today, the Italy national team will travel to the United States in late March for two friendly matches, facing Venezuela on March 21 at 21.00 UK time at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale and Ecuador on March 24 at 20.00 at the Red Bull Arena, in the New York.
The Azzurri’s last trip to the United States came in June 2005, when they drew Ecuador 1-1 in a friendly at the Giants Stadium.
