August 17 – Genoa and Sampdoria’s Serie A fixtures on Sunday have been postponed following Tuesday’s motorway bridge tragedy in the city in which 39 people died.
Genoa were due to play at AC Milan, while the city’s other top-flight club Sampdoria were set to host Fiorentina.
Serie A president Gaetano Micciche said new dates will be announced in the coming days.
The rest of the opening weekend fixtures are scheduled to go ahead preceded by one minute’s silence but Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero has said he has been informed by Juventus that it won’t play on Saturday, the day of the funerals.
Juventus is scheduled to play at Chievo Verona in what is expected to be Cristiano Ronaldo’s competitive debut for his new club.
