Chievo Verona released a statement confirming they have not been registered for the 2021-22 Serie B season and are lodging an appeal.

All clubs in Italy must prove their financial stability before they are allowed to register for the new season.

Chievo’s books were analysed by the Co.Vi.So.C entity, which gave a negative view on their current status.

There had been reports on Sportitalia this evening that the Flying Donkeys had been excluded from the Serie B campaign, and this was confirmed in a statement this evening.

Chievo have already announced they are lodging an appeal.
