"There is still approval missing before the game between AC Milan and Como can officially be moved to Australia, reports claim. As a reminder, Milan and Serie A are hoping for the game to be played out in Perth, having been forced to move the game because San Siro is unusable from 6 February to 22 February 2026. This is due to the Winter Olympic Games that are being held in Milano-Cortina."
"This morning's Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) states that the Asian Football Federation are willing to give the green light. However, the approval is not absolute. Instead, it is subject to a series of constraints that Serie A officials are examining. If all these conditions are met, then only the final green light will be missing: the one from football's governing body, FIFA."
AC Milan's scheduled home match against Como is proposed to be moved to Perth because San Siro will be unavailable from 6 to 22 February 2026 for the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. Serie A and the clubs selected Australia as an alternative venue, generating strong reactions. The Asian Football Confederation has indicated conditional willingness, imposing regulatory and commercial constraints that Serie A officials are reviewing. If those conditions are satisfied, final approval from FIFA will still be required. There is a serious chance the fixture could become the first Serie A match played abroad, with a ruling expected on December 1st.
