  1. quick translation via deepl:

    Lega Serie A approved today, during the Assembly held at the headquarters in Via Rosellini, its policy document containing the proposals for the reform of Italian football. During the same meeting, the absolute necessity to maintain the right of agreement in the federal statute was reiterated, as in the main European football systems. The current 20-team format of the Serie A championship was also confirmed’.

    16 clubs voted for Serie A to remain at 20, while four (Inter, Juventus, Milan and Roma) carried forward the line presented last week at the meeting with the FIGC in Rome, i.e. reduction to 18.

  4. This is unfortunately just creating a seed for those top teams to join Superleague.

  5. Not necessarily surprising. The amount of revenue mid to lower team get from being in Serie A is exponentially bigger than those in a lower league.

    To put it in a real life scenario, nobody will willingly vote do lay off two of their colleagues, except for the managers perhaps having to deal with less people.

  6. I’m all for democracy, but why should the vote of the casual frosinone count as much as one from Juve/Inter/Milan who are single handedly carrying the league financially? (very surprising lazio/napoli are against tbh)

    Of course smaller teams would never approve this, why would they even vote over something like that, it’s just a massive waste of time.

    You either approve it or do not even bother asking
