Inter fans banned from away games until 23 March but derby is strangely exempt
"Inter fans have officially been banned from away matches until March 23, and yet an exception will be made for the derby. As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, this is the decision taken by Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi following the firecracker thrown from the Nerazzurri fans' section in Cremona last Sunday, which struck home goalkeeper Emil Audero. The statement reads: "Following the serious unrest.""
""Following the serious unrest. the Minister of the Interior has ordered a travel ban for Inter fans until March 23, 2026, as well as a ban on the sale of tickets for the same matches to residents of Lombardy." The measure, the Ministry of the Interior informs, is aimed at ensuring public order and safety and preventing the recurrence of incidents that could compromise the smooth running of sporting events."
Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi ordered a travel ban for Inter fans from away matches until March 23, 2026, and prohibited sale of those match tickets to Lombardy residents. The decision follows a firecracker thrown from the Inter supporters’ section in Cremona that struck goalkeeper Emil Audero. The ministry framed the measure as necessary to ensure public order and prevent incidents that could disrupt sporting events. The Milan–Inter derby on March 8 is excluded because no fan movement will occur. Banned away fixtures include Reggio Emilia (Sassuolo), Lecce, and Florence (Fiorentina). Critics label the derby exemption inconsistent given the incident occurred inside the stadium.
