Lega Serie A has confirmed that Bologna-Milan has been postponed.

Lega Serie A confirmed on Friday that the Serie A game Bologna-Milan, initially scheduled for Saturday, October 26, has officially been postponed.

Sky Sport reports that Milan President Paolo Scaroni confirmed the decision after a Lega Serie A meeting on Friday before an official statement was released.

The Bologna Mayor said on Thursday that the Stadio Dall’Ara would not be available due to extreme flooding in the Emilia Romagna region in recent days.

Lega Serie A had pushed to play the game on Saturday, even if it had to be behind closed doors.

Como’s Stadio Sinigaglia and Empoli’s Stadio Castellani had emerged as possible venues for the game, and both options were discussed at an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon.

However, during the meeting, it was decided that moving the game to a different venue was impossible, so the match would be postponed and rescheduled.

It will be a tricky task given that Milan and Bologna’s fixture list is packed with Serie A, Champions League and Coppa Italia games.

Sky Sport reports that the rescheduled match won’t be played before January 2025.
