Italy will host next month’s Nations League clash with Israel in Udine, the country’s football federation (FIGC) said on Thursday.

The Azzurri beat Israel 2-1 on Monday in a fixture played in Budapest due to the security situation in the Middle East. Israel was beaten 3-1 by Belgium last week in a match played behind closed doors in the Hungarian city of Debrecen.
