Italy, the world champion, has got the same base for the World Cup as last year’s Confederations Cup from South Africa. The training base is located at Southdowns College between Johannesburg and Pretoria and the squad will train there between the 11th of June and the 11th of July.

Italy was drawn with Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia in Group F, being firm favourites to go to the next round. Last year the team was unlucky because they have lost with Egypt and Brazil, at the 2009 Confederations Cup.
