Four-time world champions Italy are desperate to end their 12-year World Cup absence on Tuesday evening when they take on Bosnia & Herzegovina in Zenica.
The Azzurri have missed out on the last two tournaments, and suffered the humiliation of being eliminated by North Macedonia in the 2022 playoffs. Nerves were therefore running high in Bergamo when they met Northern Ireland on Thursday, but Gennaro Gattuso's men navigated their semifinal with a comfortable 2–0 victory.
Sandro Tonali's goal just before the hour allowed a battered nation to breathe a collective sigh of relief, yet another evening of nerve-shredding tension awaits the Azzurri, this time on unfriendly turf.
Bosnia have just one World Cup appearance to their name, having failed to advance from their group in 2014, but a gutsy win in Wales has fueled their ambitions of featuring in North America this summer. It would take something extraordinary, however, given the 58-place gap between the two sides in FIFA's world rankings.
Here's how you can watch Tuesday's World Cup qualifying playoff final from anywhere in the world.
