Jón Bödvarsson, a must see player!
The winger from Iceland is one of the great references of the team, this belongs to Bolton Wanderers of the second division of England. Bödvarsson is one of the figures of Icelandic football and seeks to continue being one of the fundamental pieces of the midfield so that his team seeks to obtain important results against high-quality rivals and begin to become an uncomfortable team within UEFA and aspire to fight for a ticket to the World Cup. In the tie, he made 5 assists and 1 goal for his team to finish in fifth place in Group J of the tie for Qatar 2022.
How does Iceland arrive?
The Icelandic team begins a new football process after being left out of the process towards Qatar 2022 in the first round of the European qualifiers. The team took advantage of the FIFA date to put on this friendly game against the San Marino team because Russia was disqualified from international tournaments due to the war against Ukraine. This is why, having one less space in the UEFA Nations League calendar, they took the opportunity to have a game with San Marino and thus maintain the rhythm of the team. Iceland's mission is to qualify for EURO 2024 and continue to demonstrate the team's potential ahead of the upcoming qualifiers for the Canada-United States-Mexico 2026 World Cup.
Nicola Nanni, a must see player!
The Crotone striker from the third division of Italy has become one of the great promises of the representative of San Marino and started in all the matches of the process towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Now, after having been left without any chance, Nanni he is running to be one of the top forwards that the Sanmarinese need and his contribution will be very important for the future and the search for a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. Nicola Nanni was the only scorer in the tie against Qatar 2022 with 1 goal.
How does San Marino get here?
Those from San Marino come to this duel after being left without a ticket to the Qatar 2022 World Cup in the first round of the European qualifiers by finishing in last place in Group I, behind England, Poland, Albania, Hungary and Andorra. The representative of San Marino is one of the weakest teams in UEFA and little by little it shows a growth process, although it is still quite far from competing with the European mid-table teams. However, San Marino is in Group 2 of League D in the UEFA Nations League and, being a group of 3 teams, they have a space to play against Iceland and continue to show progress in their football for the future.
Where's the game?
The San Marino Stadium located in the city of Serravalle will host this friendly game between both European teams in order to continue the preparation of the UEFA Nations League. This stadium has a capacity for 6,700 fans and was inaugurated in 1969.
