The Coppa Italia has finally been given the green light to kick off at the semi-final stage tomorrow with Juventus–Milan.
Although the dates for the second legs became public knowledge two weeks ago, they had yet to be ratified by PM Giuseppe Conte.
Now, less than 24 hours before Juve-Milan is due to get under way, Conte announced he had signed a decree allowing the ties to go ahead.
The Coppa Italia has finally been given the green light to kick off at the semi-final stage tomorrow with Juventus-Milan.
Although the dates for the second legs became public knowledge two weeks ago, they had yet to be ratified by PM Giuseppe Conte.
Now, less than 24 hours before Juve-Milan is due to get under way, Conte announced he had signed a decree allowing the ties to go ahead.
“I have just signed a new DPCM (government decree), allowing sporting events, competitions and, therefore, the Coppa Italia to resume behind closed doors and in compliance with the protocols issued in order to limit spread of the contagion,” he said this evening.
On the other hand, amateur contact sports including five-a-side football will have to wait at least two more weeks to restart.
“From June 25, amateur contact sports will resume, or rather they can resume, if regions believe the conditions exist for them to do so.”
Serie A will get going again on June 20, resuming from the postponed games of the 25th matchday.
