Genoa decided not to apply for a 2020-21 UEFA licence, according to reports, so they were not rejected.
It was announced today that 16 out of 20 Serie A clubs had been granted the UEFA licence for next season, all except for Genoa, Brescia, Lecce and SPAL.
While many of them have stadium issues, so being in the bottom four assume they won’t need a licence to play in European competition, Genoa do share the Stadio Luigi Ferraris with Sampdoria.

There were inevitably questions raised about what this meant for Genoa’s finances, but Telenord insist there is a simpler explanation.
Genoa decided in March and April not to bother completing the application, as they are so far down the Serie A table that UEFA qualification is improbable.
The report states this is not an economic problem, as all the wages and outstanding bills have been paid.
