WEMBLEY TO HOST REVIVED FINALISSIMA MATCH BETWEEN EUROPE AND SOUTH AMERICAN

Wembkey to host the revived Finalissima match between European champions Italy and Copa America winners Argentina on 1 June.

European football’s governing body UEFA and South American counterparts Conmebol agreed last year to play three editions of the intercontinental match.

London was confirmed as the host city in December and UEFA now announced that the national stadium will be the venue for the first fixture since 1993.

Diego Maradona played for 1991 Copa America winners Argentina in a match, where the South Americans beat surprise Euro 92 champions Denmark on penalties.
