The Italian football team is ready to lime the American fields with two prestigious friendly matches in March. The Azzurri, under the guidance of the technician Luciano Spalletti, will face for the first time in their history Venezuela, and then measure with Ecuador, in what is predicted as an important test in view of the Europeans of 2024.
The two challenges represent a significant return to Italy in the United States, a nation that did not host the Blues since 2005. The first meeting will see Italy confront Venezuela on Thursday 21 March, at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home of Inter Miami in Lionel Messi. The game will start at 17:00 local time, at 22:00 in Italy, promising to be an unmissable event for fans of the national team.
Just three days later, Sunday, March 24, the Blues will be back in action in New York, at the Red Bull Arena. Here, the opponent will be Ecuador, with the start whistle planned for 21:00 Italian time. This second friendly offers the opportunity to relive the atmosphere of the 2005 meeting when Italy and Ecuador competed, finishing the 1-1 game.
These games take on a crucial importance for the ct Spalletti, which will have the opportunity to assess the state of the shape of the Azzurri and to experience tactical solutions in view of the convocations for the European Championship. The direct qualification to Euro 2024 has demonstrated the solidity and competitiveness of Italy, which under the guidance of Spalletti has embarked on a clear and convincing path, avoiding the risks of playoffs.
The announcement of these friendly marks not only a significant moment for the Italian team, but also a feast for the numerous Italian-American community that is expected to come large to support the Azzurri. Both games will be broadcast live TV by Rai 1, allowing fans to follow closely the national deeds also across the ocean.
With the return of the Azzurri in the United States, the enthusiasm and passion for Italian football is renewed, at a historical moment in which the national team tries to confirm its relaunch on the international stage, aiming with determination towards the Europeans of 2024.
