"AC Milan's game against Como will almost certainly not be played in Australia as was planned, according to a report. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that unless there's another twist in the coming hours or days, in the form of intervention by FIFA - the only institution currently capable of breaking the deadlock - the game will not be in Perth."
"The Asian Football Confederation and Football Australia have agreed to play the match in Perth, but have imposed very stringent conditions, such as the prohibition of advertising the match as a Serie A match and the requirement that the referee team be from the AFC and not from the Italian FA. These two conditions have halted the process that would have led to the first Serie A match being played outside of Italy."
AC Milan's scheduled match against Como faces cancellation of its planned staging in Perth because San Siro is unavailable owing to the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony. The Asian Football Confederation and Football Australia agreed to host the match in Perth but imposed strict conditions, including prohibition of advertising the match as Serie A and requiring an AFC referee team rather than officials from the Italian FA. Those conditions have stalled the arrangement that would have made it the first Serie A match outside Italy. Unless FIFA intervenes, Milan will seek an alternative stadium in Italy near Milan for the match.
