Monza’s stadium will host Italy vs. Sweden on Tuesday 12 October (17:30 CEST), a qualifying match for the next European Under 21 Championship. The Azzurrini, who will begin their qualifying journey in Group F by facing Luxembourg in Empoli on 3 September and Montenegro in Vicenza on 7 September, and who will also visit Bosnia and Herzegovina on 8 October, will return to Monza 21 years after the 0-0 draw in the friendly with England in November 2000 in what is the only previous Under 21 match in the city of Brianza.

There have been 19 direct clashes with Sweden, with a record of nine wins for the Azzurrini, six draws and four defeats. The last match dates back to November 18, 2020, when Italy beat their Swedish peers 4-1 in Pisa in the final match of the 2021 European Championship qualifiers.
