Baldini to Announce Italy Squad for June Friendlies on May 25

Interim Italy head coach Silvio Baldini is scheduled to announce the national team squad for the upcoming June international friendlies against Luxembourg and Greece on Monday, May 25, 2026. According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, the roster will likely consist of 25 to 26 players, featuring several debutants promoted from the Under-21 squad. Captain Gianluigi Donnarumma is confirmed to be included in the call-up, while other established stars such as Sandro Tonali may be rested. These matches are being played to fulfill television rights obligations after Italy failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The team is expected to gather at the Coverciano training center on May 28 before traveling to Luxembourg for the first match on June 3. Following a return to Italy, the squad will depart for Greece to face their second opponent at the Pankritio Stadium in Candia on June 7. Meanwhile, Carmine Nunziata will take charge of the U21 team, known as the Azzurrini, for their separate friendly fixture against Albania during this international break.
