Italy will wear black armbands against New Zealand on Sunday in memory of former national team defender Roberto Rosato.
Rosato, who died Sunday at the age of 66, played 37 times for Italy and was a member of the Azzurri side that won the 1968 European Championship. He also played on the team that lost the 1970 World Cup final to Brazil.
Rosato also played for Torino, AC Milan and Genoa over a long Serie A career.
Italy drew 1-1 with Paraguay in its World Cup opener and will close out Group F play against Slovakia on Thursday.
