The closure of Juventus’ Curva Sud has again been suspended, so it will be open for the season opener with Udinese.
Following violence in last season’s derby with Torino, in which a paper bomb was launched at Toro fans, the Bianconeri were handed a closure of the stand, but appealed the decision.
The closure of Juventus’ Curva Sud has again been suspended, so it will be open for the season opener with Udinese.
Following violence in last season’s derby with Torino, in which a paper bomb was launched at Toro fans, the Bianconeri were handed a closure of the stand, but appealed the decision.
The ban was then reduced from two games to one, but the Old Lady again appealed, with the case going to CONI, the Italian Olympic Committee.
The organisation has today decided to allow the Curva Sud to be open for the visit of Udinese, accepting that more time is needed for “an in-depth investigation of the elements relevant to the decision’.
A hearing will now be held on September 3, where it will be determined whether or not Juventus should face punishment for the incident.
Juve maintain that because the incident took place at Torino’s Stadio Olimpico, they cannot be held responsible for what occurred.
