It's official: the match between Genoa and Juventus, scheduled for tomorrow at 18:XNUMX p.m. at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, will be played without spectators. The decision was made following the violent clashes that occurred on the night of the Coppa Italia derby between Genoa and Sampdoria. The episodes of urban guerrilla warfare involved fans of the two teams, with a worrying toll: about thirty injured among the police, two arrests and fifteen detentions among the supporters involved in the riots.
The measure does not only concern tomorrow's match: Genoa and Sampdoria will play the next four matches, both at home and away, at closed doors. A drastic measure, but necessary to ensure public safety and order, which have been severely tested by recent episodes of violence.
The local authorities, in collaboration with the Police Headquarters of GenoVa, have decided to intervene decisively to avoid further tensions and ensure the smooth running of sports competitions. Attention remains high on future events, with constant monitoring by law enforcement.
