October 7 According to the Republic, the 24th round of Serie A Milan vs. Cuomo will be held in Perth, Australia, and has been approved by UEFA.

Although not officially announced, it is almost certain that the match between Milan and Como will be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth, and UEFA has agreed. Unless there is a major unexpected situation in FIFA, the decision will be authorized. In fact, FIFA has long suggested supporting this. The real obstacle is UEFA, and in fact, the paradox of this approval is that it initially looks like a rejection: "UEFA confirms its opposition to holding domestic league matches abroad", the official statement said so first. It was then explained that, however, “two requests were specifically approved due to flaws in global norms.”

In fact, UEFA believes that due to loopholes in FIFA's regulations, Milan's match against Como and Villarreal against Barcelona was allowed to be moved abroad, which is the first time in history to move the European top league matches not only out of their own borders, but even to another continent. UEFA explained that the discussion entered a substantive phase after the Executive Committee meeting in Tirana last month, and the subsequent consultations “affirmed the general lack of support for domestic league matches to move abroad” for fans, other leagues, clubs, players and European institutions.

But there is always a "but" in many stories: "In view of the lack of clarity and detail in the FIFA regulations currently in the revised phase, the UEFA Executive Committee reluctantly decided to approve the two requests. UEFA will actively participate in the ongoing work of FIFA to ensure future rules respect the integrity of domestic matches and the close ties between clubs, fans and local communities."

Now the ball will be passed to FIFA's table, and UEFA (which Italy will also be actively involved) will sit down with to formulate new regulations. FIFA will set up a working group to fill the “rule loopholes” pointed out by UEFA, while analyzing the needs and requirements of the club, but always considering the core principles of the organization and playing a role in overseeing decisions of the various federations. UEFA President Cheferin explained the reason for this decision: “League matches should be played locally, and any other decision would deprive the most loyal fans and could introduce a distorted game. Our consultation confirms the breadth of these concerns. I would like to thank the 55 national associations for their constructive and responsible efforts on this sensitive issue.” UEFA President added: “While it is regrettable that it has to give up these two matches, this decision is an exception and should not be regarded as a precedent. We have a clear commitment to protect the integrity of the domestic league and ensure that football remains rooted in the local environment.”
