"Lega Serie A are preparing to send a letter to FIFA hoping to rush through a decision regarding the proposal to play Milan-Como in Australia. As a reminder in case you missed the news, the two clubs involved and the league are pushing to play the game in Perth, Western Australia. San Siro is unavailable during the period the match is scheduled so an alternative venue must be found, and one has been chosen half the world away."
"After receiving approval in recent weeks from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), UEFA, the Australian Football Association (AFBA), and the Asian Football Federation (AFBA), Lega Serie A will send a letter to FIFA today. The goal is to receive a response by the end of the calendar year so they can organise the trip to Perth within a month, or change their plans to find another venue if they do not approve."
Lega Serie A seeks FIFA approval to stage Milan-Como in Perth, Western Australia due to San Siro being unavailable during the scheduled period. Both clubs and the league support relocating the fixture to an Australian venue chosen to allow the match to proceed on schedule. Approvals have been obtained from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), UEFA, the Australian Football Association (AFBA), and the Asian Football Federation, which granted conditional approval. Lega Serie A will send a letter to FIFA requesting a rapid decision. A response by year-end would allow travel planning within a month; denial would force selection of an alternative venue.
