Bologna CEO explains why he thinks postponement is ‘the wisest choice’ | OneFootball

Bologna CEO Claudio Fenucci has said that the decision to postpone the game with AC Milan today was the right one considering the circumstances.

Milan should currently be undergoing their final preparations ahead of an 18:00 CEST kick-off at the Stadio Renato dall’Ara, however news arrived on Thursday night about a potential postponement due to adverse weather.

Throughout Friday there were various ideas on the table such as playing the match behind closed doors or moving it to a neutral venue, and at one point Milan had plans in place for four different trips to four different cities.

However, the official announcement came yesterday afternoon that it will not be played and the fixture will instead have to be rescheduled. Bologna’s CEO spoke about the decision, with his comments relayed by Football Italia.

“There is an objectively difficult situation in the area surrounding the stadium, some structures have also collapsed. There are objective situations that made it difficult to play the match in Bologna, aside from the solidarity of the families in our area,” Fenucci said.

“The postponement seems to me like the wisest choice, because it allows us to protect the match proceeds, part of which will be donated to the people affected.”
