On the evening of the canceled international match between the national football teams of England and Italy, the famous arch over London’s Wembley Stadium shone in green, white and red. “We do not share the pitch @azzurri tonight, but we stand together and united in this difficult time,” tweeted the English Football Association (FA) on Friday.
In Italian, above the entrance to the legendary arena was also written: “We are separated. But we are together. Forza Italia. ”The“ Three Lions ”and the“ Squadra Azzurra ”had wanted to begin their preparations for the European Football Championship, which had been postponed to 2021. Italy is particularly hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic with more than 9,000 fatalities and reported almost 1,000 new victims on Friday alone.
