This is not just a problem for the state of the pitch itself, but also of public safety, as the area where the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is located – the Marassi neighbourhood – is particularly prone to flooding.
A meeting of local authorities is taking place and as of now, the game is going ahead, but the situation could well change.
