This weekend’s Serie C games have been called off, as the clubs are on strike after appealing for tax exempt status from the Government.
Italy’s third division is also known as Lega Pro and the matches that were due to take place on December 21 and 22 have been postponed.
It was announced via a statement, noting the negotiations with Minister for Economy and Finance Roberto Gualtieri on December 18 should provide a turning point.

The clubs want financial aid to be given tax exempt status, as they provide an important “social function” in helping young people.
Numerous Serie C clubs have gone bankrupt in recent years and rules have cracked down on ensuring they are financially stable before registering for the new season.
It is therefore hoped that tax exempt status would allow the clubs to thrive and invest in their infrastructure.
