"The federation has expressed its willingness to support the decision, which falls within the autonomy of the Serie A League, to support the match in Australia. We will have the opportunity to reflect on Asian refereeing and fair competition. It's a topic that deserves some reflection, which I will do with the Serie A League. For now, no official communication has arrived regarding the fact that the match will be played in Perth."
"It's a topic that deserves some reflection, which I will do with the Serie A League. For now, no official communication has arrived regarding the fact that the match will be played in Perth. I wouldn't call the choice of the Asian refereeing team illegitimate. Simonelli is so careful about respecting the rules that it becomes a strong term. But with the Asian confederations, the Australian one, and our federation, we need to find a balance."
Plans to play AC Milan vs. Como in Australia face growing uncertainty. Pressure from FIFA and demands from the Asian Football Confederation complicate approval and were not expected to be accepted. Serie A president Ezio Simonelli claimed the match would take place in Perth, but the FIGC has not received any official communication confirming that. FIGC president Gabriele Gravina said the federation is willing to support the Serie A League's autonomous decision while stressing the need to reflect on Asian refereeing and fair competition. Gravina emphasized the need to find a balance among Asian confederations, the Australian federation, and FIGC.
