Sports activities suspended until April 3, 2020
Bertram Yachts Derthona intends to share with its fans, supporters, enthusiasts and professionals the CONI note and the FIP press release regarding the decisions taken today, Monday 9 March 2020.
This is the CONI press release:
ʺA meeting took place this afternoon at the Foro Italico, called by CONI president Giovanni Malagò, and attended by representatives of the Team Sports Federations, together with the General Secretary Carlo Mornati.
After listening to the opinions of all those present (some in person, others via Skype), President Malagò publicly thanked the federal Presidents and the Federations for the great cohesion and appreciated unity of intent demonstrated on such a delicate occasion for the country and in particular for the world of sport which has no precedent in history.
Confirming that in every action and circumstance the protection of health is everyone's absolute priority, at the end of the meeting CONI unanimously established that:
- all decisions taken by individual FSNs and DSAs to date are to be considered correct and in full compliance with the rules and laws issued and currently in force;
- all team sports competitions are suspended, at all levels, until 3 April 2020;
- to comply with the point described above, the Government is asked to issue a specific Prime Ministerial Decree that can surpass the current one currently valid;
- to ask the Regions, while respecting constitutional autonomy, to align the individual ordinances with the decrees of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers in order not to create divergent applications of the same matter in the various territories;
- the Government is also asked to also include the sports sector, both professional and amateur, in the announced economic support plan that can compensate for the inconveniences and emergencies that Italian sport has faced so far with responsibility and a sense of duty, renouncing in some cases details to carry out regular activities without the possibility of recovery in the coming weeks due to the specific temporality of the events.
President Malagò has been delegated by everyone to inform the President of the Council of Ministers, Giuseppe Conte, and the Minister for Youth Policies and Sport, Vincenzo Spadafora, on the results of the meeting today.
CONI also recalls that international competitions, both for clubs and national teams, do not fall within the jurisdictional availability of the Italian National Olympic Committee and therefore cannot be regulated by today's decisions.
CONI has been supporting and will continue to support the individual Federations for days in all the initiatives they intend to undertake with their respective international organizations (European and global) in order to harmonize the calendars and events also in view of the upcoming deadlines linked to the Olympic qualifications.
Below is the FIP press release:
ʺThe extraordinary Federal Council was held, called as an emergency, by the FIP president Giovanni Petrucci, which was also attended by the presidents of the club leagues.
At the beginning of the meeting, the entire Council fondly remembered councilor Matteo Marchiori, who recently passed away.
The President greeted and wished good work to Umberto Gandini, the new president of the Serie A League, and thanked the presidents of the Leagues, the president of GIBA Alessandro Marzoli, the entire refereeing sector and the coaches for their collaboration in this particular phase historical.
Among the main topics covered:
Leagues
The FIP decides to maintain the suspension of national and regional championships of all levels and at the same time to monitor the evolution of the situation for a return to competitive activities in compliance with the Government and CONI directives. In this sense, the President asked for the collaboration of the Leagues to hypothesize scenarios to conclude the championships, once they have resumed. The President's proposal to modify, where necessary, the Annual Organizational Provisions for this season was shared.
CONI
President Petrucci reported to the Council on the extraordinary meeting held in the afternoon at CONI with some Federations where he highlighted all the needs of the basketball world and, for the National Teams, the problems linked to the holding of the Pre-Olympic Tournaments.
