AC Milan's Serie A match against Como could be held in Perth, Australia, potentially marking the first major European league game played outside its home country. The Italy Football Federation (FIGC) approved the venue change because Milan's San Siro Stadium will be occupied with the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics on February 6. This marks an unprecedented move in European football, needing further approvals from key governing bodies before it officially occurs.
AC Milan's Serie A clash with Como may become the first European league fixture played outside its home country, as Italy's FIGC approved the match in Perth, Australia.
The change in venue is due to the unavailability of Milan's San Siro Stadium, which will host the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony on February 6.
The FIGC stated that the Federal Council positively reviewed the request to play the match in Perth, marking a historic step for Serie A.
Despite FIGC's approval, the proposal requires more formal authorizations from Football Australia, UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation, and FIFA before proceeding.
