Why not give yourself a test with this challenge? Can you complete as many tasks as possible in the given time-frame? Do you have the skills to avoid relegation when all seems lost, or to finish the job someone started at the other end of the league with your stars out of action? It could happen here, and anything could happen!!!
UDINESE ON THE UP
Udinese Calcio is an Italian football club based in Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and currently plays in the Serie A. Founded in 1896, Udinese is the second oldest club in the Serie A, and thought to be the second oldest professional football club in Italy, after Genoa C.F.C.
The traditional team home kit is black and white striped shirt, black shorts, and white socks. The club plays in the Stadio Friuli, which has a capacity of 41,652 (although it is currently limited to 30,900). It has a large number of fans in Friuli and surrounding areas, and it is sometimes seen as the best symbol of Friulian pride.
