After embarrassingly failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, Italy won all 10 of their qualifying matches for Euro 2020 and enter the tournament on a 27-match unbeaten run.

"We want to go all the way," Bonucci added. "Other national teams have more experience but we can play with anyone. We don't have a (Romelu) Lukaku or a Cristiano Ronaldo. Our strength is the team."

Turkey took four points off France in qualifying, including a 2-0 win over the World Cup winners, and lost only one of their matches to finish second in Group H.

"Being in this tournament and playing in the opening match makes us proud," Turkey coach Senol Gunes said. "In every opening game there are surprises and I hope we can also spring one."
