Italy to face Argentina at Wembley on June 1 in 'Finalissima'
UEFA has confirmed Wembley as the venue for the Italy v Argentina clash on June 1 as the champions of Europe and South America face off.
UEFA has confirmed that the game between Italy and Argentina to be played on Wednesday, June 1st in the first "Finalissima" in 29 years, will take place at Wembley Stadium.
The match was initially announced in September, with confirmation in December that a "renewed and extended Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) lasting until 30 June 2028" had been signed between UEFA and CONMEBOL, leading to a game to be played in London on June 1st.
The original iteration, pitting the winner of the most recent European Championship against the winner of the most recent Copa America, was previously known as the Artemio Franchi Trophy and was held in 1985 and 1993.
France beat Uruguay 2-0 in the inaugural edition in 1985, while the 1993 game saw Argentina – led by Diego Maradona – beat Denmark in a penalty shoot-out.
