Sources close to the Italian federation said on Friday that the possibility of playing a Serie A match in China within the next three years would be discussed at a meeting with Chinese officials yesterday.“I don’t think it’s a road we can travel in the next few years,” he told reporters. “We could discuss the Supercup or some Coppa Italia matches.”
“I’d use August to play a few Serie A matches around Europe,” he said. “Why not start the Serie A season in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid or Barcelona?”Last year, Spain’s La Liga announced plans to stage a game between Catalan neighbours Girona and Barcelona in Miami but ran into opposition from the Spanish federation. Barcelona, who had initially backed the plan, then withdrew their support.
