"I think the situation is still the same: Serie A are waiting for approval from FIFA and the Asian Football Federation. We support the League: we think it's good for the league."
"It was the League's decision. By the time it was made public, it was already out. We were chosen to play and we gave our consent. But there's no right way to make these decisions. Some will always agree and some won't. We have to look at the collective good, not just of the club, but of the league."
Serie A is awaiting FIFA and Asian Football Confederation approval to stage a Milan home match in Perth. San Siro will be unavailable from 6 to 22 February 2026 because of the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, forcing Milan to find an alternative venue. Como was selected as the opponent and provided consent to play in Perth while expressing support for the league. The choice of a venue halfway across the world has generated strong reactions and raised questions about decision-making and the balance between individual club interests and the league's collective good.
