US EditionSerie A Chief Dismisses Rabiot Concerns over Milan's Australia Fixture
Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo defends moving AC Milan vs. Como to Australia despite UEFA's reluctance and player opposition, citing global growth and financial benefits for the league.
- On Monday, UEFA reluctantly approved AC Milan's Serie A fixture against Como to be played at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, instead of at home.
- Because San Siro is unusable due to the Winter Olympics, organisers chose Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia as the replacement venue for the Milan-Como match.
- Speaking to ANSA, Serie A Chief Executive Luigi De Siervo said `Rabiot was right` but urged players to respect their pay and employers over the Australia match decision.
- UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin warned that moving league games overseas could 'break' European football, and UEFA said matches should be played on home soil to protect local match-going fans.
- Serie A executives point to other sports, noting Luigi De Siervo cited the Tour de France and NFL/NBA games abroad last year and urged precise rules for European football's growth.
