There are about 4.000 spectators at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi, Verona, to watch the final.
Both teams will play with a 4-4-2 formation.
Time to play the “national” anthems.
The teams are entering in the field.
The start of the match has been delayed.
Hello everyone! Ten minutes to start the match, as long as it is not delayed (two matches have already been delayed this tournament).
The teams have already faced each other during this tournament. It was on matchday 3, where, with both teams having already qualified for the semi-finals, Padania won 2-1 against Kurdistan with a last-gasp penalty that left everyone with big doubts.
