College Basketball Teams Head to Rome for a Historic Game

Two famous American college basketball teams are traveling all the way to Europe to start their new season. Villanova and Notre Dame are sending both their men's and women's teams to play special games in Rome, Italy.

This is the first time these two schools have ever played their opening games of the season in another country. Rome is famous for its ancient history, great food, and beautiful landmarks, making it an exciting trip for the student athletes.

Playing far away from home gives the players a chance to explore a new culture while playing the sport they love. Fans in Italy will also get to watch high-level college basketball live in person!
