Belloli said at a meeting in March that funding should not be given to “this bunch of lesbians”, at a summit to discuss supporting the movement.

Now ANSA reports that the match between Brescia and Tavagnacco, scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled in protest.

The news agency reports that the decision was taken today at a meeting between players and staff in Milan.

The FIGC has opened an investigation after receiving the minutes of the meeting, while Belloli claims he never uttered the remarks, telling the Gazzetta dello Sport “minutes can be taken and amended by anybody.”
