Italy-Norway, more than 45,000 tickets already sold

The ‘Giuseppe Meazza’ stadium in Milan, which will host the national team’s last match in the World Cup qualifying round on Sunday, November 16 (8:45 p.m.), continues to fill up. A total of 45,400 tickets have been sold for the match with Norway, first with full points in Group I on 18 points with a three-point lead over Italy.

On May 15, 1910, Italy played on the field of the Arena Civica the first match in its history, beating France with a net 6-2. Milan also held the birth of the Azzurro myth, as on January 6, 1911 against Hungary Italy wore the Azzurri jersey for the first time.

Second city after Rome to have hosted the largest number of matches of the Italian national team (63, with a tally of 39 wins, 19 draws and 5 defeats), as well as the headquarters of the Federcalcio between 1905 and 1911, Milan has seen Italy take the field in four different venues: the Arena Civica, the Velodromo Sempione (demolished in 1928), the Milan Field in Viale Lombardia and the San Siro Stadium, since March 3, 1980 named after Giuseppe Meazza.
