National Team: Riggioni and Giacopetti among the call-ups for Helsinki

Roberto Cevoli’s Biancazzurri left this morning for their final international away trip of the year. San Marino will conclude Group 1 of UEFA Nations League League C in Helsinki, where they will face a Finland side coming off a heavy defeat suffered yesterday (0-2) away to Albania.


In the San Marino camp, Filippo Fabbri is definitely out – suspended by the sporting authorities after receiving his second yellow card of the entire tournament in last night’s match against Belarus. The international year is also over early for Dante Rossi, who has not been at full fitness in recent days and has been forced to withdraw ahead of the Scandinavian trip. In their place, head coach Roberto Cevoli has called up Bartolomeo Riggioni – a central defender – and Nicolas Giacopetti. The latter returns to bolster the attacking options after serving a suspension for accumulation of yellow cards, triggered in the match played in Tirana last October.


The Titani will arrive in Helsinki just before midnight on a flight from Malpensa. Tomorrow, the official pre-match activities will take place: Roberto Cevoli will meet the media at 18:15, making himself available to TV and journalists together with midfielder Lorenzo Capicchioni. Training at the Bolt Arena is scheduled for 19:00 on the same day. The match itself will be played at the same venue on Sunday 15 November, with kick-off at 18:00. The game will be broadcast live and free-to-air on San Marino RTV (DTT channel).
