Series A: Naples-Salernitana postponed to Sunday for security reasons

The match between Naples and Salernitana, which can allow the Neapolitans to mathematically ensure the title of Italian champions, has been postponed to Sunday instead of Saturday for reasons of public order, the authorities announced on Thursday. The new schedule for the meeting has yet to be formalized by the Italian Football League but it should take place on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. (1:00 p.m. GMT), a source familiar with the matter told AFP.

To be officially champions this weekend, six days before the end of the season, Napoli must beat their neighbor Campania but also count on a draw or a defeat for Lazio Rome - second at 17 points - on the ground. of Inter Milan during this 32nd day.

Napoli were originally scheduled to play on Saturday afternoon (15:00, 13:00 GMT), almost 24 hours before the Laziali whose match is scheduled for 12:30 (10:30 GMT) on Sunday in Milan.

This gap between the two meetings was considered problematic for the management of public order in Naples, where the city is impatient while waiting for its first scudetto in 33 years.

After a day of discussions, the authorities announced in the evening the postponement of the meeting to Sunday, leaving the League to set a new schedule.

This 24-hour postponement should also lead to changes for the following day, scheduled for next week. Naples was to play Tuesday evening in Udine at the start of the 33rd day, but could ultimately only play on Thursday.
