Dortmund to host Germany's Nations League clash with Italy

Dortmund's Westfalenstadion will host the second leg of Germany's Nations League quarterfinal clash with Italy in March 2025, the German FA (DFB) announced on Thursday.

The match will take place at the 82 000-seat home of Borussia Dortmund on 23 March, three days after the first leg at Milan's San Siro.

In a statement, DFB sporting director Rudi Voeller said: "Dortmund is the perfect location for what is a football classic."

Germany, who are in the Nations League knockouts for the first time, won their most recent game at the venue, a 2-0 victory over Denmark in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals.

Unlike England's Wembley and the Stade de France in Paris, Germany does not have a national football stadium, with games shared around the federal nation.
