October 12: Switzerland vs Italy, Stadion Lachen, Thun, kickoff 6pm CET
Italy won the first-ever European championships in 1983, claimed gold again in 1987, and were the defending champions last year, but had to settle for the bronze medal with a 26-7 win over Sweden. They travel to face a Swiss team that finished 11th overall in 2023.
“As a new coaching staff, we’re excited to take on the challenge of continuing the legacy of success,” says Italy head coach Brian Michitti. “With many new faces, our focus remains on building a strong, winning culture that pushes each player to reach their full potential. Our players have a great attitude, but our upcoming opponents will test us, and it will be a true measure of how far we’ve come since January.”
