Italian Serie A clubs Como and AC Milan are set to play a league game in Perth, Australia, despite controversy surrounding the decision. The match is part of an effort to boost the Italian league’s profile and increase revenue, but many within FIFA and UEFA oppose the plan due to its logistics and potential impact on the sport.
The Reason Behind the Decision
Como has released a statement justifying the decision, citing the potential benefits of the game, including increased visibility and revenue for the league. They propose taking 50 fans on the trip to Perth, where the game will be held in a stadium with a capacity of 60,000 fans.
The Controversy
The decision has sparked debate among football fans and officials, with many questioning the logistics of the trip, which will involve a 16-17 hour flight each way. The cost of the trip is also a concern, especially considering the distance and potential revenue generated from the game.
UEFA’s Stance
UEFA has granted permission for the game to take place in Perth, but opposition comes from within FIFA, where many are skeptical about the decision. The Italian league is facing a significant challenge in competing with the English Premier League, which has a much higher revenue from broadcast rights.
Long-Term Consequences
The move is seen as a desperate attempt to increase revenue and reposition the Italian league in the global football landscape. However, this decision may have unintended consequences, including a strain on the league’s finances and potential damage to its reputation.
