Bologna-Milan is postponed to a later date. The decision was made due to the weather conditions and bad weather that hit Emilia-Romagna in recent days. Also having an impact was the decision of the mayor and the prefect to sign an ordinance which prevented the normal running of the match valid for the ninth matchday and initially scheduled for 26 October at 6pm. The president of Milan Paolo Scaroni he commented on the postponement as follows: “Incomprehensible decision”. Milan asked for the match to be played behind closed doors and on a neutral pitch. In the last few hours, the hypotheses of Empoli and Como had been circulating. Nothing to be done: now the Lega Calcio will have to find a hole in the very crowded calendar. Both teams are also involved in the Champions League.
The match will not be recovered before the beginning of 2025. “At the moment, calendar in hand, the month in which it will be possible to recover the match is February, based on commitments in the Italian Cup and European cups. In theory there would be Christmas ( smiles, ed.) but now we will try to understand with the teams if there are spaces available even earlier, but which at the moment don’t seem to be there.” Thus the president of the Lega Serie A Lorenzo Casini in the press conference at the end of today’s meeting in via Rosellini.
AC Milan president Scaroni: “The postponement of the match against Bologna is an incomprehensible decision”
Fenucci: “Objective difficulty”
“There is an objectively difficult situation in the stadium area, where there have also been collapses. Beyond the solidarity that we always express for the families, there were also objective situations that made playing the match in Bologna difficult “. Bologna CEO Claudio Fenucci said this at the end of the Lega Serie A meeting. “It seems to me that the postponement is the wisest choice also because it allows us to safeguard the proceeds of the match which will partly be donated to the affected populations. Recovery hypothesis? I don’t know, talk about it in the League because it is their concern. These are organizational issues that must be addressed by defending the interests of the parties. I think playing matches behind closed doors and without an audience is always a defeat for the movement.”
