Italy will use the November 15 friendly against Turkey to honour the memory of former Azzurri great Giacinto Facchetti.The legendary Inter stopper, who won 94 caps for his country, sadly died last month after losing his battle against illness.
As a mark of respect to the former Inter President, the Italian Football Federation have opted to hold the game in Bergamo – the region where Facchetti hailed from.
“We want to remember the champion and the man,” said FIGC vice-commissioner Gigi Riva. “He was an example for everyone and in a period of such difficulty for the Italian game, his style and interpretation of sport must be taught to youngsters.”
