During UEFA EURO 2024, Italy's headquarters will be established in Iserlohn, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Azzurri will stay at the VierJahreszeiten Hotel and train at the Hemberg Stadium. They will have easy access to the first two match venues, Dortmund (approximately 30 km away) and Gelsenkirchen (approximately 70 km away), where Italy will face Albania (15 June) and Spain (20 June) respectively. The FIGC's choice of Iserlohn was influenced by the enthusiasm and warmth shown by the city's institutions and the local community, ready to experience this exciting adventure alongside the National Team.

The Azzurri will arrive in Iserlohn on 10 June, five days before the match against Albania (June 15, at 21:00 CEST), which will kick off the journey in the tournament for the reigning European Champions. Today marks the beginning of an initial inspection of the town by the FIGC staff, during which the next interventions in the training centre will be defined. They will also identify the area where Casa Azzurri will be located, a gathering place for all National Team fans, and a valuable reference point for accredited guests, along with the attached Media Center, where the team's daily media activities will take place.

THE CITY: The name Iserlohn combines the terms lô (forest) and îse(r)n (iron), thus translating to 'iron forest,' a mineral that has characterized the city's history and economy since the late Middle Ages. Fortified by the Counts of Brandenburg in the 12th century, it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701, becoming one of the most important industrial cities until the mid-1800s. After World War II, the city rapidly grew with the construction of new industrial and residential areas.
