The Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea Abodi spoke on the sidelines of the Valore Sport Observatory organized by The European House Ambrosetti. “It takes planning and research not only into structures, but into rules. Because the main theme, I don't know if it's the championship with 20 or 18 players, but certainly the over 5 billion in debt", his words. The Minister then continued: “I understand the need for an evolution of the system that allows Serie A to be competitive for the benefit of the entire football and sports system. We need a jolt, a leap of dignity. I have not yet read the strategic proposal of the Football Federation, it will be important for me to become aware of a proposal that is not the Bible, but a trace. It will allow comparison with all the components in order to achieve a leap in quality."
To those who ask him what politics can do for football, Abodi instead replied: “It must respect autonomy, because solutions are always expected to be found internally. Then, respecting autonomy, if no solutions arrive, we will also do our part. For example, we will find a way to have a percentage of the bets collected given to the organizers of the events."
