“Fiorentina believes that, faced with tragedies like the one in Genoa, everything else takes second place,” a statement on the Viola’s website reads.
“It would be appropriate for even the world of football would stop and reflect at this moment, and respect in silence the mourning that affected dozens of families.
“Football is about passion and fun, but this is a moment of pain and we should all stop and embrace Genoa and its victims.”
Genoa and Sampdoria have already said they won't play, while Blucerchiati President Massimo Ferrero has stated Juventus won't play on the day of the funerals for the victims.
