Fiorentina-Juventus at risk of postponement, mayor Sara Funaro provides clarity
Sara Funaro expresses herself on the possibility of postponement of Fiorentina-Juventus
For the mayor of Florence, Sara Furano, it is not yet time to make decisions on whether or not Fiorentina-Juventus, a match valid for the 29th day of Serie A scheduled for Sunday, March 16, with kickoff at 6 p.m., can be played. The match is at risk of postponement because of the violent bad weather that hit Tuscany, causing some flooding even in the area of the capital on Friday.
"Right now we are focused on the emergency and what is happening hour by hour,” the mayor of Florence told 'LadyRadio'. We will take stock again of all the issues, today (Friday, ed.) the alert è to code red, let's see how the situation evolves. We are watching moment by moment".
Of particular concern are the hydrometric levels of the Arno River, which the Civil Defense reportedly exceeded 4 meters. A red alert for hydrogeological phenomena is also expected on Saturday, March 15. In addition to Florence, criticality is also registered in the nearby provinces of Livorno and Pisa.
Several match postponements have been recorded this season, some scheduled, such as those at the beginning of January due to the concurrent commitments of the teams involved in the Italian Super Cup, others due to emergency events: for a situation similar to the one Florence is experiencing, Bologna-Milan was postponed last Oct. 26, then recovered on Feb. 27.
