Napoli, Florence match at risk of restrictions: possible away fan ban and earlier kickoff for security reasons

Away section reduced to 340 seats

The Prefecture of Florence has announced a significant reduction in the capacity of the away section, limited to 340 seats. The reason is linked to ongoing renovation work in the area of the municipal stadium, which is still described as an “open-air construction site.”

Possible away fan ban

Logistical issues, combined with assessments by law enforcement, are pushing the Ministry of the Interior to consider banning travel for residents of Campania. This is a measure that could be made official in the coming days, just before the match.

Possible earlier kickoff

It is also possible that Serie A will be asked to change the match time, currently set for 8:45 PM, moving it to the afternoon. The aim would be to reduce risks related to managing the flow of fans and to ensure greater control over public order dynamics.

Awaiting the final decision

The situation is still evolving and the final decision is expected in the coming days, when the Prefecture, the Ministry of the Interior, and Serie A will determine the definitive arrangements for the match.
