The scene of Italy-Sweden that tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon, both teams will meet, in a match equivalent to the second day of League of Nationsthis is Castel di Sangroa small town of 6,600 inhabitants located in the province of L’Aquila, between Rome, Naples and Pescara and the election did not seem to please the Italians and the Swedes.
And it seems that the choice of the Teófilo Patini stadium, with a capacity for 7,200 spectators, has once again generated controversy due to the importance of the match, with qualification for the Olympics at stake. And this is not the first time that the Italian team plays in this stadium. According to the Italian press, this is the fifth time since 2017. The Spanish team played there against the Azzurra in the summer of 2022.
“We deserve a different scenario, a different place,” said the Swedish professional Linda Sembrant, who plays for Juventus Turin, about the crash scene. And to get to the stadium you have to travel kilometers of winding mountain roads. Another of the Swedes playing for Juve, Amanda Nildén, admits that “I’ve never actually been to or heard of it.” “I’ve heard some rumors and things like that. It’s not a very big stadium and I don’t think many people go because not many can get there,” says forward Lina Hurtig, who laughs when told that tickets are free.
Nildén, who shares a dressing room with several Italian internationals, said that they were also very disappointed: “They believe that a big match like this should be held in a bigger city, so that more fans can come to support them.”
