Juventus ultras push not to play Turin Derby, four games start behind schedule | OneFootball

Tonight’s final Serie A games were thrown into chaos when Juventus ultras ordered their players not to take to the field, so the other four matches went ahead regardless.

The Derby della Mole between Torino and Juventus has not kicked off yet, and Bianconeri ultras don’t want to play it at all.

Ultras of Juventus and Torino clashed outside the stadium hours before kick-off, and one Bianconeri fan was hospitalised in a critical but not life-threatening condition, according to Sky Sport.

Why is Torino vs. Juventus not being played?

Therefore, Juventus ultras asked that the game not be played, talking directly to their players multiple times during the warm-up.

Torino-Juventus was among the final five games of the Serie A season, all of which were scheduled to kick off at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

The final matches are all meant to begin simultaneously to ensure fairness and no unfair advantage from knowing the other results.

However, that means Milan-Cagliari, Verona-Roma, Lecce-Genoa and Cremonese-Como were all waiting around for Juventus to emerge from the dressing room.

After a ten-minute wait, Lega Serie A gave the green light to start the other four matches, while Juventus and Torino players are still waiting inside the dressing room.

According to Sky, police and authorities fear that if the derby begins, Juventus ultras will invade the pitch, creating even greater security concerns.

Torino ultras, in the meantime, have removed banners from the Curva Maratona, suggesting that they agree with not playing the game, while Juventus and Torino do want the match to go ahead.
