Coppa Italia Final

The finalists

Juventus are the current holders having won the Coppa Italia last year for a record 10^th time. Recently they just secured their fifth consecutive Serie A title and with international stars Mario Mandzukic, Paul Pogba and Sami Khedira in their ranks, they head into this final as strong favourites.

The season has been a very different story for the once mighty AC Milan. Inconsistency on the pitch and instability off the pitch has seen Milan struggle for results. New boss Cristian Brocchi will be hoping that after a disappointing season his side will be able to lift a trophy they have not won since 2003.

The Stadium

Rome is synonymous with history from the ancient to the not-so-distant past and it is no different with the Stadio Olimpico. Originally called Stadio dei Cipressi, construction began in 1928 as part of the larger Foro Mussolini project, which was renamed to Foro Italico. Due to the World War II, it was not completed until 1953 it was inaugurated with a match played between Italy and Hungary.

In more recent times, the stadium hosted the final of the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 and 2009 UEFA Champions League finals.
