Italy to play Euro 2008 qualifier against Georgia

The four time world cup champion Italy will defend Georgia on the upcoming 2008 European Championship qualifier to be held on October 13 in Genoa. The match is to be held on the Luigi Ferraris stadium that is shared by Sampdoria and Serie A clubs Genoa.

Italy, the second leading Group B team with 16 points (succeeded by France with 18 points) will play against the Georgia squad, also a Group B team with 6 points. Italy was recently on the news when the retirement announcement of Italian striker Francesco Totti and defender Alessandro Nesta, shook the world. The new Italy coach Roberto Donadoni has set the world champions ready for the next battle and is quite pleased with their recent 2-0 win over Lithuania on 6th June. Georgia coach Klaus Toppmoller also retains hope to take over the champions, although quite disturbed with their 1-0 loss with France.
