The Italian national team have enjoyed a great deal of success at the international level, both in the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championships, and this, coupled with the country’s love affair with the beautiful game, means that trying to access tickets is by no means an easy feat to achieve.
The fact that so many top Italian players have also made their mark overseas adds to the cult status the country’s football team enjoys, and fans from around the world would love the chance to see them take to the field in a big, meaningful national team clash and at SeatPick the pursuit of doing so is far more likely to be a rewarding one, especially when compared to the alternative options.
Some may look to UEFA or FIFA and their ticketing portals as a route to take, but you should be ready for disappointment if you choose to walk that path. Millions of football fans enter the lottery-style ballots that both governing bodies run for their respective flagship tournaments, and the chances of success are nearer to none than slim.
And even if you were to win tickets via this method, you need to be aware that the first tranche of tickets that supporters apply for is run ‘blind.’ In other words, you apply for games knowing just the location and date and not the identity of the two nations playing; therefore, an Italian fan is highly unlikely to strike gold.
SeatPick helps to make life easier for football fans when it comes to their ticket-buying endeavours. We offer an unbeatable range of tickets for every major match, both at the club and international levels, and that’s due to our alignment with hundreds of the most trusted ticket reseller sites.
Our platform, therefore, offers fans the chance to make an informed choice from the many offers available, having checked the market, compared the prices, and found the deal that works best for their wallets.
On this page, you’ll be able to check out the various options available for Italy vs Slovenia, and within a click or two, you will be heading your way to the stadium to cheer them on to victory!
Italy vs Slovenia UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Italy did not enter the 1960 UEFA European Championship, the inaugural running of the tournament, and then failed to qualify for the finals in 1964. However, they did qualify for the finals in 1968 and hosted the four-team finale, and beat Yugoslavia, after a replay, to win the trophy at their first finals attempt.
1972 and 1976 saw Itay perform poorly in qualifying and therefore miss out, and they once again hosted in 1980 and therefore made it without having to qualify. They drew with Spain and beat Italy before closing out their group with a draw with Belgium, which was insufficient to secure a berth in the final, and they had to settle for the fourth spot.
At Euro 1988, they reached the Semi-Finals before they were dumped out by the Soviet Union in Stuttgart.
They failed to make it to the finals in Sweden in 1992 and did not impress in England at Euro 1996 but saw a return to form under coach Dino Zoff at the Euro 2000 finals in Belgium and the Netherlands.
There, they battled all the way to the UEFA European Championship Final and led thanks to a Marco Delvecchio goal with the game three minutes into injury time, only for one-time Arsenal striker Sylvain Wiltord to send the game into extra time with a late goal, and during this period fellow substitute David Trezeguet then fired France to victory in Amsterdam.
At Euro 2012, they once again reached the final, but on this occasion, they were played off the park by a stylish and effective Spain side that crushed them 4-0 in Kyiv.
Euro 2020 proved a far more successful campaign, with Roberto Mancini’s side qualifying for the tournament by winning all ten of their games and they then proceeded to defeat all before them to set up a final with England at Wembley Stadium.
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw gave the Three Lions hope of winning their first-ever UEFA European Championship by scoring within just three minutes.
However, Leonardo Bonucci scored for Italy, and the game ended in a stalemate, leading to a penalty shoot-out, which England inevitably lost due to misses from Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka.
Slovenia’s one finals appearance came at Euro 2000 and saw their national team throw away a three-goal lead in their opening group game, eventually drawing 3-3 with the Former Republic of Yugoslavia.
They then lost to Spain before closing out their group with a goalless draw against Norway, a result that saw both sides eliminated from the tournament.
Italy vs Slovenia Head-to-Head
Italy and Slovenia have met in two previous UEFA European Championship campaigns, both in the qualifying phase.
Ahead of Euro 1996, Slovenia secured a creditable draw at home before Italy won 1-0 on their own turf.
In their meetings in the qualifying for Euro 2012, a goal from Thiago Motta gave Italy a 1-0 win in Ljubljana, and in the return fixture, it took a single goal from Giampaolo Pazzini to give the home side a narrow win in Florence.
