England will play Italy in an international friendly on March 27 at Wembley Stadium, the country’s football governing body, Football Association (FA) said on Monday.
Both sides qualified for Euro 2020 after topping their respective groups, with Italy qualifying with a perfect record of 10 wins in 10 games.
