San Siro to be shut for AC Milan's game against Udinese

Fans display their strong allegiance to their club at San Siro

AC Milan’s home San Siro will remain closed for the team’s  clash against Udinese next week. The decision was reached upon by Italian Serie A assembly after numerous counts of racial discrimination surfaced during Milan’s 2-3 loss to  Juventus on Sunday.

AC Milan Vice- President Adriano Galliani welcomed the decision and said insulting players because of territorial differences is a very bad gesture. He said, “I think it’s fantastic that stadiums get closed in a country where the stadiums are so old and uncomfortable and practically empty anyway.”

“Nobody even heard anything. No newspaper journalist or television reporter heard anything. Maybe there was some official who heard something — maybe in the toilet or at the bar, I don’t know.”

“I understand that racism is a big problem, a problem in the whole world, but territorial discrimination is something else,” he said. ‘I could do it myself: living in one zone of Milan and agreeing with a few friends to chant against another zone of the city.”

AC Milan will be playing Udinese behind closed doors abiding by Lega Serie A President Mauricio Beretta’s committee ruling.
