Italy will begin defending their European title on Saturday evening against Group B rivals Albania, marking the start of both nations’ Euro 2024 campaigns.
While the Azzurri aim to secure consecutive Euro victories, Albania’s goal is to progress beyond the group stage in only their second major tournament appearance.
Participating in their 11th European Championship, Italy has the opportunity to join Germany and Spain with three titles if they manage to retain the Henri Delaunay Trophy next month in Berlin.
