Fundamental direct clash between Bari and Pescara in a semi-deserted San Nicola and made even more important after Samp’s victory over Carrarese in the first match. The organized Apulian fans are protesting, they have decided for days to desert the stadium and, before the match, they started a demonstration that started from the city centre; the white and blue one, however, saw the match banned for reasons of public order, given that the Bari Police Headquarters, after having implemented the findings of the National Observatory on Sports Events and Gos, prohibited the sale of tickets for the guest sector of the San Nicola to residents in Abruzzo. In a surreal climate, Pescara asks Vincenzo Vivarini, their first coach of the season, who, like his successor Giorgio Gorgone, is still without any victories on the new bench, having both scored 1 point in 2 matches.
On the occasion of the International Day of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Lega Serie B renews its commitment to the promotion of a sport truly accessible to all, supporting the #IOVALGO – Football is for Everyone project, created in collaboration with the Ministry for Disabilities and the Paralympic and Experimental Football Division (DCPS) of the FIGC: during the ceremonial entry onto the pitch, the children and athletes of the DCPS will wear special shirts dedicated to the initiative and will be involved to unite their voices in a single call: “Zero Barriers! Football belongs to everyone!”.
The Lega Serie B, on the recommendation of the President of CONI and the President of the FIGC, will observe a minute of silence in memory of Nicola Pietrangeli, the historic icon of Italian tennis who recently passed away.
