The Serie A match between Milan and Como, which was to be played in Perth in Australia in February, will be moved back to Italy, the league itself confirms. The reason, according to the league, is that the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), to which Australia belongs, has made demands that cannot be met. It is not specified what the requirements are. The match has been planned for a long time, and Serie A president Ezio Simonelli confirmed as recently as 18 December that the match will be played in Perth. Milan’s French duo Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot are among the players who have expressed their displeasure at moving the match to the Australian city, which is almost 14,000 kilometers away from Milan. In comparison, the distance between Milan and Como is only around 40 kilometers. In the past, La Liga’s plans for a series match in Miami have also been scrapped. (NTB)
