Amateur Leagues open doors
The Amateur Leagues, youth team championships and five-a-side football will resume as normal from tomorrow.
While Serie A, B and C are still waiting to hear when their games will be able to begin again – and if fans will be allowed into the stands – this move is a positive step from the FIGC and CONI.
The first event to be affected is the world famous Viareggio Youth Tournament, which kicked off today in its 59th edition behind closed doors, Maccabi Haifa beating Fiorentina 2-0.
It’s still not clear when the main Championships will be able to kick off, but it’s reported that play will resume this weekend from the Week 23 fixtures and that for a few weeks all games will kick off at 15.00 Sunday.
Women’s football has also been given the go-ahead after Friday’s rioting in Catania prompted the immediate suspension of all calcio activity in Italy.
"We heard of this news and felt great joy, opening the doors to fans and above all talent scouts on the stands," said organiser Alessandro Palagi. "From tomorrow we will play for the people, the kids and for sport."
The opening tie between Brazilians Santos and Milan was called off along with the other first day matches.
