Gravina: “It's great that stadiums will be reopened in Serie A, but now we need the same for Serie B and Serie C

“Of course it’s good news that fans will be returning to stadiums, but it really puzzles me that this has only been approved for Serie A, and not for the other professional competitions. The same measures have been put in place in all three professional leagues, and the same goes for social distancing rules, so there’s no reason why it should be any different when it comes to letting fans back into the stadium. Throughout the most difficult months we faced with COVID, the footballing world stepped up to the plate and showed a real sense of responsibility. I’m sure that the same provisions will be brought before Serie B and Serie B officially get underway next weekend.”
