Stadio Druso in Bolzano will host the qualifier for the U21 Euro 2025 between Italy and Norway, to be played on Tuesday 17 October at 17:45 CEST. For the Azzurrini, now with Carmine Nunziata at the helm, it will be the third match of Group A following the two away games on the 8 and 12 September in Latvia and Turkey respectively.

It will be Italy Under 21’s first time in Bolzano, though the city has already hosted an Under 18 game (Italy-Germany in February 2002) and two games of the Women’s National team: the first against Austria in December 1983, and the second against Germany in March 2004.

There have been nine previous games between the Under 21’s of Italy and Norway, the last played in Cluj, Romania, in June during the final round of the U21 Euros where Norway’s victory sealed Italy’s elimination from the tournament. The complete tally counts 4 Italian victories, 3 draws, and 2 victories for Norway.
