Official: UEFA announces postponement of Milan-Como ruling: “No decision”

This afternoon, AC Milan were expecting to hear a decision about moving their game against Como to Australia. It didn’t arrive, though.

There has been a significant amount said about Milan and a potential game against Como down under this year. It is nothing new, really. However, the chances of it occurring are growing, especially after backing from the FIGC.

A game abroad is a popular topic currently, given that La Liga is also considering a game away from Spain – America, in that case. So, opinions are regularly flying about the possibilities and how the clubs should move with this.

UEFA statement

Today, as confirmed by the FIGC president, a decision was expected. However, after a meeting, the decision’s announcement has been delayed, as has now been made official by UEFA, via MilanNews.

“The Executive Committee discussed the requests from the RFEF and the FIGC to approve the playing of one domestic league match each outside their respective countries, specifically outside UEFA territory.

“The committee acknowledged that this is an important and growing issue, but expressed its desire to ensure it has the views of all stakeholders before reaching a final decision. There are many issues to be resolved, and as the European governing body, UEFA has a responsibility to take all these factors into account.

“Consequently, no decision was made today, but UEFA will initiate a cycle of consultations with all European football stakeholders, including fans.”

When a decision will arrive is unknown for now. However, the fact that fans are being consulted suggests it may be a while.
