BORDEAUX: Italy’s players will wear black armbands during their Euro 2016 quarter-final clash against Germany later Saturday in tribute to the Italian victims of a terrorist attack in Dhaka. Nine Italians were among the 20 victims killed by hostage-takers in Bangladesh. The Italian football federation (FIGC) said the Azzurri team, which faces Germany at 1900 GMT looking to book their spot in the semi-finals of the competition, will pay tribute during the game. Calling the incident “a tragedy”, a statement by the FIGC said: “The Italian football federation, its staff and all the players stand united with the entire country and the family of the victims.”
