Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Wed, 11/04/2009 - 01:31

The USA U17 national team will face Italy in the round of 16 in the World Cup in Nigeria.

After finishing second in Group E following a loss to Spain and wins over Malawi and United Arab Emirates, the USA will have the tough task of taking on the Group F winners.

The match versus Italy takes place on Wednesday at 4 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET) at Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna, Nigeria.

The match will mark an appearance in the knockout round for the fourth consecutive event for the U.S. U-17s and they will be hoping to turn the tables after losses in their first knockout round game in three previous events.

Italy were undefeated in their group stage matches, defeating Algeria and Korea Republic and drawing with Uruguay.
