There is no official information, but in Parma during the Serie A Elite final it was the federal president Marzio Innocenti who announced the venue for the third match in November, when Italy will face New Zealand. And the match with the All Blacks will be played in Turin, therefore the options of Milan and Rome, which had been talked about in recent months, have disappeared.
The Azzurri return in Piedmontese capital after almost ten years, with the last match played by Italy in Turin dated 22 August 2015, when the Azzurri challenged Scotland in a friendly match in view of the Rugby World Cup which would be played a few weeks later.
Once the city has been decided, now it will be clear in which stadium in Turin the match will be played. The options, in fact, are theOlimpico Grande Torinowith a capacity of only 28,000 seats,, or theAllianz Stadium owned by Juventus, with a capacity of 41,000 spectators.
Therefore, all the venues for Italy’s autumn test matches have been defined. The Azzurri will make their debut on November 9th Friuli Stadium in Udinethen moving a week later to Luigi Ferraris of Genoa for Italy-Georgia on Sunday 17 November, closing, as mentioned, on 24 November in Turin against the All Blacks.
