A sold out Pala Giovanni Paolo II is preparing to host the Azzurri’s upcoming game against the Albiceleste tomorrow at 18:15 CEST. In what is their first game of an International three-team tournament, Italy will also be facing off against Bosnia.

“The squad is doing well,” said Head Coach Alesso Musti. “We continued with the work put in during the first training camp, one that brought us victories in Romania. This is an important competition to assess our level, with our opening game against Argentina one of crucial importance. However, we also can’t underestimate Bosnia because we also want to get a result against them. The stadium will be full and this will be an added stimulus for both the players and staff.”
