June 19 – FIFA and UEFA have expressed opposition to an Italian government plan to set up a committee to oversee the budgets of professional clubs.
Speaking at a parliamentary hearing, the head of Italy’s FA (FIGC) Gabriele Gravina told lawmakers the FIGC had received an email on Monday from both bodies.
He said the missive urged the Italian FA “to pressure the government to backtrack on this measure that violates the autonomy of sports.”
