The Italian football federation has announced the Azzurri will play a friendly against Ukraine in Kiev on March 29.
The match comes four days after Italy visits Slovenia in European Championship qualifying and it will also give the Azzurri a chance to visit one of the host countries for next year's tournament.
Italy leads its qualifying group, three points ahead of Slovenia, while Ukraine qualifies directly for Euro 2012 as co-host with Poland.
In six meetings with Ukraine, Italy has won five and drawn once. One of the victories was a 3-0 win in the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup, which Italy went on to win.
