World Cup 2022, on the pitch at 8.45 pm
Italy-Switzerland
Over 50 thousand fans at the Olimpico to support the European champions in the hunt for three points.
Giampiero Galeazzi will be remembered with a photo on the big screen and an announcement in the pre-match of tonight's Italy-Switzerland match at the Olimpico, valid for qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar next year. "I am sure that tonight the Olympic Stadium will also be able to remember you for how you deserve it", the undersecretary for sport, Valentina Vezzali, had anticipated in a tweet this morning.
"Hi Giampiero, you were special both as a correspondent and as a man".
With this tweet, and the emoticon of praying hands, the national team coach Roberto Mancini remembers, less than two hours after the match against Switzerland, Giampiero Galeazzi, of whom the blue coach also posted a photo.
