The Italian national team is one of the contenders for the World Cup title at the World Cup in Brazil. All Italy has been waiting for this great sporting event for four years. Now the attention of the Italian fans will be riveted on three sports arenas where Italians will compete for reaching the decisive stage of the tournament.
The Italian national team will play their matches in the group stage of the World Cup in three cities in Brazil. The rivals of the four-time World Cup winners will be the British, Costa Ricans and Uruguayans. Matches will be held on June 15, 20 and 24, respectively.
The first match with the British will take place at the Arena Amazonia stadium in Manaus. The football stadium has a capacity of just over 39,000 people. The arena was built from scratch in three and a half years on the site of an old stadium. In appearance, the venue for football battles resembles a bird's nest. Surprisingly, there is no football team in the city. Therefore, it is not clear how the stadium will be used after the World Cup.
At the Arena Pernambuco stadium in Recife, the blue squadron will play their second match against Costa Rica, which at first glance seems to be the easiest for fans of Italian football. The stadium seats 42,500 spectators, and the city itself is located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and is known throughout the world for its beaches.
The Italians will play their final group match against the Uruguayan team at the Estadio das Dunas stadium in Natal, which seats nearly 43,000 spectators. This arena is one of the most beautiful and unusual in the world in terms of its architecture. It resembles the sand dunes that are abundant in this region.
The fans of the Italian national team are hoping that their team will visit other stadiums. To do this, the Italians need to go through the group stage, in which great teams will be their rivals. And, of course, every Italian dreams of playing their national team against any rival at the main stadium of the tournament - Maracanã, where the match for the championship gold will take place.
