Soccer, stop evening matches in Italy to reduce consumption: request filed

Codacons president speaks

The national president of Codacons, Marco Donzelli, calls for a drastic decision. “It is time for the Football League to also intervene in this situation of enormous difficulty, limiting energy consumption as much as possible,” he says. “Unfortunately, at this time we all have to make sacrifices, and the first step would be to ban evening matches by moving them to times of the day when sunlight is sufficient. We will write to the Football League to ask for decisive action on the issue.”

For the past two years the Scudetto has been won by Milanese teams, first Inter and then AC Milan. Previously, for nine seasons in a row, it had gone to Juventus, which was able to win it with first Antonio Conte on the bench (three successes for the Salento native), then Massimiliano Allegri (five) and then Maurizio Sarri, who, however, was later replaced by Andrea Pirlo. At the beginning of the millennium, the last two Scudetti went to teams with non-vertical striped jerseys: Lazio won it in 2000, Roma in 2001.
