Italy-Turkey: Decisive clash for the Nations League

Italy hosts Turkey on 5 October in Bologna in the quarter-finals of the 2026/27 Nations League. The Azzurri, buoyed by recent results (victory against Turkey, draw against France), are looking to consolidate their place in the final phase. Turkey, without a win since its elimination from the 2026 World Cup, must find offensive solutions. This European competition determines qualification for Euro 2028 and the repechage for the 2030 qualifiers.
