Fans are showing great interest in the French national football team's first home game under the management of Zinedine Zidane.
Idman.Biz reports, citing "L'Équipe", that all tickets for the match between France and Italy have been sold out. There are no empty seats at the "Stade de France" with a capacity of 80,000 people.
The match will take place on October 2 as part of the group stage of the A league of the UEFA Nations League. The match will start at 22:45 Baku time.
This match will not be Zidane's debut as the head coach of the French national team. The specialist will play his first match against Turkey on September 25. France will then be the guest of Belgium, and the match against Italy will be Zidane's first match in the country as the team's head coach.
The France-Italy match also recalls the final of the 2006 World Cup. That match was also the last match of Zidane's football career. The World Cup final held on July 9, 2006, is also famous for Zidane knocking down Marco Materazzi with a head butt and receiving a red card in the 110th minute, leaving the field prematurely.
