It kicks off at the Stadion Bilino Polje in Zenica on Tuesday at 19.45 UK time and a winner will be decided after 90 minutes, extra time or even a penalty shoot-out.
Italy players stick together in crucial play-off
Vicario was spotted in the stands and stayed at the training camp with his teammates for the semi-final 2-0 victory over Northern Ireland last week, despite undergoing surgery only a few days ago.
The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper wanted to be involved in the process of earning a spot at the 2026 World Cup, and he isn’t the only one.
Napoli defender Di Lorenzo was spotted with Vicario during the pitch inspection this evening as the Italy squad arrived at the Stadion Bilino Polje.
They were both wearing bright blue coats, to differentiate them from the players who are part of the official training camp and match squad.
