The team led by Roberto Mancini wants to return to its golden days in football
This Saturday, at 16:45 pm (Brasília time), Italy hosts Finland in the first round of the Euro 2020 Qualifiers. The game in Udine will be valid for group F.
Champion of the 1968 edition and runner-up on two other occasions, the four-time world champion needs victory to restart her journey towards better days.
The Azzurri's last major achievement was in 2006, when they won the World Cup. After that, Italy was eliminated from the group stage in the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. Last year, it didn't even compete in the competition and was also eliminated from the Nations League, a new UEFA competition, still in the group stage. Therefore, coach Roberto Mancini, in charge since May, asks the team to play with enthusiasm.
Italy x Finland will be broadcast from the channel Space.
Regulation
There are ten groups, with five or six teams each, totaling the 55 affiliated to UEFA. The best two from each group will be in the 2020 Euro Cup, that is, 20 teams.
In addition to them, there is the repechage, where the last four Euro participants will emerge. The repechage, in turn, will be played in the knockout system in a single game with the winning teams from the 16 groups of the four divisions of the 2018/19 Nations League.
If the teams have qualified directly for the Qualifiers, the next best placed team in each division of the Nations League will go to the playoffs.
