The Stadio Nicola Ceravolo in Catanzaro will be the venue for the Under 20 National Team’s Elite League match against Poland on Friday 13 October (time to be confirmed, live on figc.it). The Azzurrini will therefore play the third match of their tournament in Calabria after the draw in Germany and victory in the Czech Republic. 

It will be the first time the Under 20 team play in the Calabrian city; the national youth teams, on the other hand, return to Catanzaro six years after the Under-17s' double friendly against the Czech Republic (played at the Centro Federale Territoriale). The U21 team also played at the ‘Ceravolo’ in 2003, beating Azerbaijan 6-0 in a qualifying match for the Euros, goals scored by Gilardino, Zaccardo, Gasbarroni, D’Agostino and Borriello.
