And against Spain in Las Rozas, a 1-0 loss and a 2-1 win. Manuel Pasqual’s Under-16 team will return to action for a double friendly against Wales Under-17. The matches will take place on Tuesday, October 14 at 3:00 PM and Thursday, October 16 at 11:00 AM at the Stadio Comunale in Ferentino, Frosinone.

For the Azzurri Youth Teams, this marks a return to the Ciociaro municipality, which previously hosted just one match on January 20, 2016, when the Under-17s played a friendly against Spain ending 1-1 (goals from Oriol Busquets for Spain in the 38th minute, and Moise Bioty Kean’s equalizer for the Azzurrini in the 70th).
