Abodi (min. Sport): “On the agenda is the hypothesis of clubs participating in betting revenues”

'The government has a clear position, it has asked the football system at the highest level several times to present us with an organic industrial plan to understand how we can intervene in support, because we have no intention and no interest in humiliating football and Serie A in particular'. The Minister of Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, said this on the sidelines of the General States of labor consultants. On a possible industrial plan for the Series, the minister continued, 'I am at a good point, there are many objectives to pursue together, I would not like to go into the merits of the individual element (the companies are asking for a declaration regarding the sponsorship of betting companies , ed.) even if the theme – not so much of advertising – but the issue of participation in the value chain of sports betting collection by the organizers in a general sense – not just in football – It's a topic on the agenda that we want to address. I think our responsibility is to analyze the impacts of the rules we want to promote. The league and the Football Federation will help us understand how we can give support that allows Italian football to be competitive, on the assumption that football knows where it wants to go,' he concluded.
