An Extraordinary Assembly has been called for Monday 11 March (first session at 8:30 and second session at 10:30) at the Hotel Hilton Rome Airport in order to discuss modifications to the Statute.

 “I’m very passionate about the topic of reform,” said FIGC President Gabriele Gravina while receiving the EuroMed Award in Campidoglio. “I was the first to table the issue and presented various projects, but words of agreement have not yet been followed by action. As such, I have formally called upon the Assembly to convene on 11 March in order to modify the Statute, which I announced would happen at the last Federal Council session. Either we move past the vetoes applied by vested interests in order to design a new model for Italian football, or I’ll ask the delegates to do away with the so-called memorandum of understanding that impedes us from taking concrete steps towards broad reforms of the football system.”
