For this reason, Milan is disappointed with the decision to postpone the game against Bologna

For this reason, Milan is disappointed with the decision to postpone the game against Bologna

Bologna – Milan will not be played on Saturday. The league made its decision after meeting with the relevant authorities. The decision ultimately went in favor of Bologna, who took a more decisive stance on avoiding a neutral venue for the game compared to the previous day’s developments.

Milan has always been committed to social causes and considers solidarity as a fundamental principle. Yesterday, Bologna announced on its social channels that it would donate half of the game proceeds to a fundraiser organized by the Metropolitan City.

In response, Milan decided to auction off their players’ jerseys in the game scheduled for Saturday at the Renato Dall’Ara.

However, the Rossoneri club separates the social from the sporting aspects and finds the decree of the mayor of Bologna, Matteo Lepore, incomprehensible. The disappointment comes from the observation that other events such as the Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2024 and the Bologna Boxing Night for the European Boxing Championship are taking place as planned, albeit behind closed doors.

Sources close to the Rossoneri suggest that part of the problem was poor timing, which did not allow for a more in-depth assessment of possible alternatives. Milan did their best, but Bologna refused to play in another stadium.

Now, with their already busy calendar, AC Milan are waiting to find out when the game will be rescheduled.
