Abodi: 'I hope that this season of uneasiness in the FIGC ends soon'

"It's right that things take their course, I leave it up to whoever has to decide. There is the Federation, with its bodies, there is CONI, which must supervise, so I am convinced that all this will be clarified." Thus, on the sidelines of the press conference of the ATP Finals, the Minister for Sport, Andrea Abodi, regarding the issue of the race for the presidency of the FIGC and the appeal presented by Adriano Galliani.

"I hope that a new season will simply open - he adds -, that this season of internal malaise and discomfort will end, but which, in some way, will reverberate outwards, and that we can begin a season of building a new idea of ​​organized football in our country without throwing away everything good that has been done". The minister underlines that "every day there are thousands of clubs that operate simply for the good of football development, especially at the grassroots and this should not be neglected, but supported and encouraged. I will do it, as I promised to do with dedicated support to football academies and schools in the especially amateur sector and to the entire women's sector under Serie A. The promises are kept - he concludes - let's hope that football also knows how to keep not so much the promises but the expectations".
