The municipality of Taranto has officially granted S.S. Taranto a temporary authorization to use the Erasmo Iacovone stadium and the adjacent Francesco Di Molfetta facility through December 2026, setting total facility fees at 8,960.60 euros alongside mandatory insurance policies.
Local Authorities Limit S.S. Taranto Stadium Access
Local authorities issued the temporary administrative order through the Directorate of Educational Services and Sports following formal requests from club management and subsequent disputes over venue access, keys, and area availability. The administrative document confirms that the agreement does not transfer direct stadium management, custody, or continuous operational availability to S.S. Taranto. Access remains strictly limited to Campo A with its adjoining locker rooms and the Francesco Di Molfetta pitch, while excluding offices, hospitality suites, stadium bars, construction zones, and restricted areas.
Detailed Breakdown Of Municipal Fees And Payment Deadlines
Administrative filings detail specific financial obligations required from the club within seven days of receiving the order. This figure comprises 291.50 euros for workouts conducted on September 22 and 23, alongside 1,224.30 euros covering scheduled sessions between October 2 and October 10. Matches hosted on Campo A with paid admission incur a fee of 1,488.96 euros per fixture across five scheduled dates, totaling 7,444.80 euros. The combined financial obligation reaches 8,960.60 euros, excluding additional applicable administrative charges.
S.S. Taranto Must Provide Bonds and Insurance
To maintain the validity of the municipal permit, S.S. Taranto must furnish comprehensive financial guarantees within the seven-day deadline. Requirements include a surety bond matching the exact total fee of 8,960.60 euros, a general liability policy covering bodily injury and property damage, and a specialized three-month property insurance policy running from October through December 2026. This third policy carries a three-million-euro coverage limit to guard against potential fire, vandalism, theft, and structural damage.
Match Scheduling And Public Attendance Protocols
The municipal calendar authorizes training sessions at the Di Molfetta ground on September 22 and 23, and October 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, 2026. Official fixtures on Campo A are slated for October 11 and 25, November 8 and 22, and December 6, 2026. Opening these matches to spectators depends entirely on securing approvals from the local police headquarters, fire department, health authorities, and municipal police, alongside strict adherence to safety directives issued by the public safety commission. For the matches to be played on Campo A, opening to the public and utilizing the sections will be subordinated to holding all titles, opinions, and authorizations provided by current regulations, in addition to respecting the instructions issued by the Police Headquarters, Fire Brigade, Health Service, Local Police, and other competent bodies.
