Italy to host Nations League match with Israel in Udine

Italy will host next month's Nations League clash with Israel in Udine, the country's football federation (FIGC) said on Thursday.

The Azzurri beat Israel 2-1 on Monday in a fixture played in Budapest due to the security situation in the Middle East.

Israel were beaten 3-1 by Belgium last week in a match played behind closed doors in the Hungarian city of Debrecen. 

The FIGC said however that tickets for the match at Udinese's Blue Energy Stadium, which has a capacity of 25,000, will go on sale on Tuesday.

Italy are top of Nations League Group A2 with a perfect six points, three ahead of both Belgium and France.

Before facing Israel on October 14 Italy will host Belgium at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on October 10.
