In November, during the World Cup in Qatar, Albania is expected to play a luxury friendly with Italy. Roberto Mancini’s national team has not qualified, so they will still have the opportunity to work and benefit from this stop of the championships. This was stated by the President of the Italian Football Federation for Radio Rai.
“We anticipate a plan for the National Team to gather again in 10 days. And for that I thank the League for making the players available for those ten days before the start of the World Cup. Mancini will have plenty of youth at his disposal to build the best possible squad. and start a new preparatory phase. Two friendlies are scheduled during these ten days. Most likely a friendly will be with Albania in Tirana”.
Albania has played 3 other matches before with Italy, one of which was a friendly. Italy has won on all three occasions.
