GdS: Milan-Como approval arrives from Australian FA despite fears elsewhere

Today, as expected, the Australian FA have given the green light to AC Milan vs. Como taking place in Australia. 

In the past few days, the chances of Milan vs. Como taking place in Perth have been dwindling, with reports referring to the decision to cancel the La Liga game in Miami, between Barcelona and Villarreal.

Nevertheless, the steps are still being made forward with the relevant authorities to play the Serie A game down under next year.

The AFA say yes

As was reported yesterday, the Asian Football Confederation are under pressure to reject the possibility of the game from external parties. Given that Massimiliano Allegri has now joined the list of those against the game, the opposition is growing.

However, steps forward have still been made, with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that the Australian FA gave their green light to FIFA late last night. Though it is important to note that this is not the final step that needs to be made.

Now, the AFC must agree to the game taking place, importantly, without the influence of any external parties, and then the decision rests in the hands of FIFA.

The AFA saying yes is an ‘important’ step, but far from the final one.
