Wales v Italy Euro 2004 qualifier


We Love Wales because it's hard to beat the sheer passion of a Welsh sports fan.


Wales face the mighty Italians at the Millennium Stadium on Wednesday 16 October.


Spirits will be high following the team's impressive 2-0 win against Finland in Helsinki in their opening qualifying game for the Euro 2004 Championships in Portugal.


With tickets like gold dust, BBC 2W will be there to bring viewers all the live action.


To lift spirits even higher, the Manic Street Preachers will be warming up the crowd, and 2W viewers will see the gig for free on their digital screens.


Will Cardiff City's Robert Earnshaw add another goal to the one he scored against Germany in May? Will Simon Davies plant another beauty in the net?


Join Oliver Hides as he introduces all the action live from the Millennium Stadium, joined by special guests John Toshack and Mark Aizlewood for expert comment and analysis, and match commentary from Ian Gwyn Hughes and Ian Walsh.


Exclusive to 2W viewers is the Wales v Italy under-21 match on Tuesday 15 October.


With multi million pound players on the Italy side, and up-and-coming talent showcased for Wales, it's the perfect warm up for Wednesday's big match.
