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.
