ROME June 28 (Reuters) - Italy will play at the Juventus Stadium in Turin for the first time when they face the Czech Republic in a World Cup qualifying match on Sept. 10, the Italian Football Federation said on Friday.
The national team have played in Turin on a number of occasions, with the last being a 2-0 win against Bulgaria in September 2009, but it will be the first visit since Italian champions Juventus moved to the ground in 2011.
Italy are top of Group B on 14 points, four clear of second-placed Bulgaria, after six games. They host Bulgaria on Sept. 6.
