With the European Championship confirmed as postponed by a year, now set to be played in England from 6 to 31 July 2022, UEFA have published the dates of the Azzurre’s next games in Group B in their search for European qualification.

Italy’s path will resume on 17 September, when the Azzurre will host Israel, then facing Bosnia and Herzegovina away on 22 September.  Two games that should have been played on 10 April in Udine and on 14 April in Zenica respectively before the interruption to football due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
