The Italy U17s Euros campaign officially begins in Cyprus. Massimiliano Favo’s Azzurrini will debut against Poland in Group C at the AEK Arena in Larnaca (19:30 CEST, live on Rai Play and UEFA TV). Slovakia and Sweden, the other Group C sides, will play at the Paralimni Municipal Stadium Tasos Markou at 17:00 CEST.
In a press conference yesterday at the Herbal Hotel, the head coach: “We are happy to be here. We will face Poland in the first game who I consider a very good side. They’re very physical like Slovakia whilst Sweden, in my eyes, is a bit better on a technical front. We need to beware of each of them, and they need to beware of us”.
Italy will go on to face Slovakia on Friday 24 May at 17:00 CEST at the Dasaki Achnas Stadium and Sweden on Monday 27 at 17:00 CEST at the Paralimni Municipal Stadium Tasos Markou.
