Juventus Stadium to host Italy vs England friendly

MILAN (AP) - Italy's friendly international against England will take place at the Juventus Stadium.

It was announced in December that the match would be staged in Turin, and the Italian football federation said Friday that the fixture will be held at the home of the Serie A champion and not at Torino's Stadio Olimpico.

The match - the 26th between the countries - will take place on March 31.

Italy last played England in their opening match of the group stage at the 2014 World Cup. The Azzurri won 2-1 but both teams then failed to progress to the knockout round in Brazil.
