The Federcalcio has decided to postpone the start of the matches by 5 minutes, including Genoa-Inter, as a signal of solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Thus the FIGC: “Italian football takes to the field united for peace. This is the message that the Italian Football Federation wants to send in such a complex moment for international equilibrium, deciding to postpone the kick-off of all matches by 5 minutes officers scheduled for the weekend. Without distinction, professionals and amateurs, will unite in a single testimony of peace, sensitizing enthusiasts and fans on respect for human life and on need to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis in Ukraine.
“The universal values of sport require us to reflect – declared the president of the FIGC Gabriele Gravina – we don’t want to turn away. Interpreting a widespread sentiment in Italian public opinion, which also crosses our world, we want to send a clear message: the national football movement is sensitive and very concerned about what is happening in these hours, sport does not make politics but cry out for peace ”.
For Genoa-Inter, therefore, the kick-off will be at 21.05.
