Ahead of the Nations League, Italy takes on Greece in a preparatory friendly at the Pankritio Stadium, with interim coach Silvio Baldini making tactical tweaks.

A June 7 friendly between Greece and Italy will see caretaker coach Silvio Baldini at the helm for the Azzurri, as both nations look to rebuild after missing the 2026 World Cup.

Greece and Italy will meet in a friendly this Sunday, using the match to channel frustration over missing the 2026 World Cup while testing new tactical directions.

Luxembourg will host Italy in a friendly on Wednesday, marking their first meeting in 12 years. Both teams missed the 2026 World Cup, with Italy missing out after a penalty shootout loss to Bosnia & Herzegovina and Luxembourg failing to earn points in qualifying. Italy’s new temporary coach Silvio Baldini will field an almost entirely uncapped squad, while Luxembourg, fresh from back‑to‑back wins over Malta, looks to build momentum.

The friendly scheduled for Wednesday pits Luxembourg against Italy in a match that could mark a historic milestone for the Luxembourgish side.
