Germany to Host Italy in Nations League Quarterfinal

Germany will host the second leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final against Italy at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion on March 23, 2025, following the first leg in Milan. The stadium, known for its vibrant atmosphere and capacity of 82,000, was chosen for its significance in German football, according to DFB sporting director Rudi Völler. This marks Germany's first time reaching the knockout stage of the Nations League, and they aim to garner strong fan support in Dortmund. The German team recently secured a victory at this venue, defeating Denmark 2-0 in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals. Unlike other nations, Germany lacks a dedicated national stadium, with games held across various locations. The announcement reflects the DFB's commitment to promoting football in diverse settings across the country.
