Fans can purchase tickets at authorized Vivaticket centers and on the websites figc.vivaticket.it e vivaticket.com.

The national team will return to play in Milan more than a year after their success against Ukraine, when they won 2-1 with a brace from Frattesi, in a Euro 2024 qualifying match. Milan has a long history with the national team, having hosted the team's first match, on 15 May 1910, at the Arena Civica, where Italy defeated France with a clear 6-2.

The city is also a symbol of the birth of the Azzurri myth: on January 6, 1911, Italy wore the blue jersey for the first time in a match against Hungary. Milan, second only to Rome for the number of matches hosted by the National team (61), boasts an impressive record of 39 victories, 19 draws and only 3 defeats.

Since 1980, the stadium has been named after Giuseppe Meazza and has seen a long series of successes for the Azzurri, with an unbeaten run that lasted 96 years, interrupted only by the 1-2 against Spain in October 2021. The national team's record for the biggest win in Milan dates back to 18 January 1920, when they beat France 9-4. Austria are the most faced opponents, with six meetings, followed by Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary and Portugal, who have met Italy five times.
