Serie C plunges back into the nightmare of penalties. Rimini, fresh from winning the category's Coppa Italia just five months ago, now finds itself facing a dramatic situation.
The National Federal Tribunal has imposed an 11-point penalty on the Romagna club to be served this season and a fine of 5,000 euros. A real blow, coming after the deferment last July following reports from Co.Vi.So.C.
Rimini will thus start from -10 in the standings, given the single point earned against Vis Pesaro. As if that weren't enough, the team was dismantled in the last hours of the market, and fans see the most representative players leaving.
Meanwhile, the "Romeo Neri" stadium issue also complicates the immediate future of the club. The next match against Ternana is already shrouded in uncertainties. The dreams of the early season turn into a nightmare.
The National Federal Tribunal has issued a very heavy sentence. Eleven penalty points to be served in the standings and a fine of five thousand euros now weigh on Rimini's shoulders.
The basis of the measure lies in administrative violations, contested already in the summer months and reported by Co.Vi.So.C. The punishment indelibly marks the start of the season, forcing the team to chase from the very first days.
The hardest blow, however, came from the market. In the last useful hours, Rimini lost its most representative men, who moved to other Serie C and Serie B teams, while some terminated their contracts.
In response to these departures, several young players have arrived, eager to emerge but inevitably inexperienced. The balance of a group that had celebrated the category's Coppa Italia in April has been shaken to its core, and now uncertainty reigns.
To the penalty and technical difficulties, another serious problem is added: the stadium. Rimini risks no longer being able to use the "Romeo Neri" due to economic issues related to the non-payment of about eighteen thousand euros in overdue installments.
A paradoxical situation that even calls into question the next home game against Ternana. The fans, already tested by the events, watch incredulously at chaos that seems to have no end.
The Rimini case adds to those already known of Turris, Taranto, Triestina, Foggia, and Trapani, clubs that started the championship with penalties. The third Italian series confirms itself as a fragile tournament, where corporate events too often end up influencing the field.
The regularity of the championship is severely tested, and once again, the biggest consequences are borne by the fans, forced to live a season that risks turning into a long desperate chase.
