Livorno suffer UEFA closure
Livorno will play their UEFA Cup tie with Espanyol behind closed doors, a special commission said on Tuesday.
The Tuscan minnows qualified for the last 32 after coming third in Group A, but Wednesday’s 20.45 game at the Armando Picchi will be shut to fans.
The venue doesn’t comply with new safety regulations in Italy and a commission failed to grant it the necessary certificate this afternoon.
Livorno had asked to reduce the venue’s capacity to under 7,500 – thus making it exempt from the Legge Pisanu rules – but that request was rejected too.
