Training camp at Coverciano concluded. 20 players selected for the Elite Round

Italy Under-17 beat their counterparts from Fiorentina by four goals to nil at Coverciano today. The Azzurrini will travel to Siena for the next stage of qualification for the Euros.  Today’s game was a chance for Corradi to get one last look at the team and make his final squad selection for the tournament.

Italy have been drawn in group 6 of qualifying with Poland, Kosovo and Ukraine – the latter were today hosted at Coverciano as the FIGC’s guests. Italy’s first game is against Poland in Siena on Wednesday 20 April (15:00 CEST). They then head to Poggibonsi where they will play Kosovo on Saturday 23 April (15:00 CEST), before returning to Siena to take on Ukraine on Tuesday 26 April (15:00 CEST). The group winners are guaranteed to progress, while runners-up will go through only if they are among the seven best second-placed teams.
