The FIGC has announced there will be a minute’s silence for COVID-19 victims before every Coppa Italia match, the opening Serie A, B and C games.
It was originally believed that the pause would only be ahead of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Juventus–Milan this evening and Napoli–Inter tomorrow.
However, the Federation and President Gabriele Gravina ruled the minute’s silence will also be held before the Final on June 17.
It’ll be present before the first rounds back from the lockdown in Serie A and B.

The same goes for the Serie C play-offs and play-outs, plus the Coppa Italia Serie C Final.
Over 34,000 people in Italy have died after contracting coronavirus since the first case on February 20.
There is an extra twist ahead of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, as after the minute’s silence, players and staff will turn to applaud healthcare workers, represented symbolically on the pitch by three medics.
