Lega Serie A will take their final decision regarding the possible postponement of this year’s Supercoppa Italiana today.
The match between the Scudetto holders Inter and the Coppa Italia victors Juventus is still scheduled for January 12 at the San Siro but both clubs have asked for it to be moved, citing concerns over the Omicron variant of COVID as a reason.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the League council will make their final decision today, with the new date possibly being May 18. This date would suit both clubs as it wouldn’t be impacted by any progress in the Champions League.
Serie A stadiums currently have a 50% reduced capacity due to COVID restrictions but the hope is that a postponement to the Spring would allow fans to return in full force for the match, which would also have financial ramifications for both clubs.
The League council will make their decision their afternoon, with a meeting scheduled for 2pm Italian time.
